Re: Who can top this?
Um... I know some is ornamental but it seems like ya'll have enough to provide a small country with fruit!!
Just out of curiosity, how much fruit do you have in a good year and what do you do with it all?? Lynn your green thumb is bionic! I'm ready to rest up abit too. It's been a really fun and satisfying summer though. Deb

Re: Who can top this?
This is my first year growing them, so I hope to have lots of fruit next year. As I mentioned though, some of these are just TC starts that are in the process of being hardened right now - about a third of them. So while there are a good number of plants, most of these are first year bananas, and my tallest is only about 7-8' at this point.
Once I get them going strong next spring, I want to TC several of them myself. This winter I will be working on filling in the gaps with some of the ones I don't have yet, but still want. In part, this is an experiment to determine heat and drought tolerance characteristics for each. Hopefully there will be lots of pups next spring too.

Wow, now that's a list. Makes my measly 11 types look like a joke - even if it is only my second year. And I noticed most of you have Ae Ae, where did you all gets yours (other than eBay)? I'm getting determined to add that to my list early on.
