Woohoo! It made your day!! What the big box stores carry just doesn't make much sense does it?? And usually the plants are lucky if 50% of them make it.

I was stunned to find my first 2 Orinoco's at Lowe's on close out $9 each. They weren't any there the week before. These were in 5 gal pots, 7' tall. But I still got them in my Nissan Xterra. These are my first bought ones as my house came with "mystery" bananas.

I agree about going to real nurseries where people know what they are doing. I'll have to start exploring tropical nurseries in the Houston area.

Hey! We're driving to Niagra Falls in October for vacation, maybe we can find bananas in New York!
