Greetings from Pacific Grove
Hello,
I am new to the forum and also to growing bananas. I love tropical plants and have experience growing orchids and some epiphytes. Since I live across the street from the ocean I get plenty of humidity and also, unfortunately, salt spray. So after losing most of the outdoor plants I brought with me when I moved here I discovered that the humidity and bright light reflected off the ocean was ideal for growing tropical plants indoors. The house looks like a greenhouse with all the orchids, anthuriums, staghorn ferns, cycads, ferns, other epiphytes and of course bananas growing all around. Hopefully, we'll be moving to Hawaii in a few years and then I can grow all of these types of plants outdoors. I am kind of strange because I don't like the flavor of raw bananas (or at least the varieties I've tried). They have a strange "metallic" taste and I hate the "strings" that run alongside the fruit. But I love them cooked and in foods. I'd enjoy learning about bananas and their cultivation, uses, etc. I think they are such handsome plants. I'm looking forward to meeting you! Eric
