In the 1850's most of the bananeros would have gone to Sutter's Mill.
If someone is able to put a banana plant in a pot they probably could find a spray bottle.
Anyone who has ever grown a tc plant knows that spray bottle is essential.
I didn't realize it takes 16 to 20 months for an Avocado to ripen in CA, here flower to harvest could be as short as 3 months.

Similarly: Oranges, Grapefruit, Mandarins, and Avocados take 16 to 20 months to ripen here depending on the cultivar.

When growing bananas rapidly amassing roots quickly is key.
