Hi all from NorCal
My first post and I hope all of you are well.
I am looking for a couple bananas to plant in my newly-built small greenhouse (9a). Should be 4-6 footers. I ws thinking Dwarf Nino, Ice Cream, or CA Gold. Any suggestions? I tried ordering from Oasis Tropical and think I got hosed.  |

Re: Hi all from NorCal
Welcome! and for your own sake, stay away from Oasis Tropical as several others in the forum, including myself, got taken by them. If you are looking for plants, let the others here assist you in finding reliable sources.
Happy hunting!  |

Re: Hi all from NorCal
Welcome! Whereabouts in NorCal are you from? I have a pretty big collection and if you're close enough to make the drive maybe you can get a good deal from me. I'm pretty reputable and you've got my word on that!

Re: Hi all from NorCal
 Steve left with 2 California Gold pups and 1 unknown, probably Dwarf Orinoco. "I should have brought my bigger truck!"

Re: Hi all from NorCal
FYI - So folks know more about the "tube scheme" in case they might have a need to try something similar at some point. I irrigate my alfalfa fields with 16" diameter poly pipe which rolls out flat from a roll 660' long. It inflates with water and I use a tool to punch a hole and insert 3" diameter gates into it. It can easily last a few years if coyotes don't chew it up or voles chew numerous holes into it. I always have pieces laying around and we used some of those to slide from the corm end up and over the leaves to pull them together and protect them from the wind for Steve's journey (over 100 miles). I used it once before to bring a banana from Joe Real's place to mine.
