Hi,
Happy to have this forum! Our home "came with" a small area of bananas 40+ yrs old. In 2 years they have never fruited. Though some similar looking ones accross the road from me did. Bright green. Plants grow 12+ feet high, provide great shade and the trunks can get up to 10" across.

I want to enjoy all the fruiting varieties that I can grow. Lady Fingers are listed as one for our zone 8-9. Love small sweet bananas.

Can you guys reccomend some? As well as terms? What the heck are pups? I have about 6 to transplant, but as I want fruiting varieties there really is no reason to do so.

Thanks
