Default Hello!
Well i just signed up and am looking forward to chatting with you all. I live in Missouri so i am kinda limited to hardy tropical s but I do have a few.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I have been chatting with a fellow member and has been a great help...thanks Austin!!
I love the tropical look and have a pool and am slowly trying to make my own tropical paradise, I got divorced a year ago so i have not done a whole lot in the past year, so now its time to clean up and do some replanting.
Ray

Welcome, One thing for sure--you can grow bananas in containers, there are sevaral dwarf varieties--including super dwarf cavendish that you can grow in pretty small containers if you can bring them inside for winter and provide a little light.

Ray, welcome to the site! I'm glad to see you signed up. I didn't realize you were in Missouri...I had forgotten. There's a ton of information here. I think it's smart to go with bananas for your tropical garden since they grow like lightning speed compared to palms. Get the bananas going while you wait on your palms to grow!

Banana Bucks are just a way of saying thank you for using the site--there are functions on the site where you can use them---like the classified adds.
