I live in Texas also, banana trees are available at any nursery. I have seen them at Home Depot also. I start with two little plants two years ago and I know have approx. 25 of them due to reproduction. They add a beautiful tropical look to your landscape.

Thanks for your reply, but i have been to every nursery, and Lowes, Home Depot and Mc Coys and all they handle is the decorative banana trees, I am wanting those that bear fruit we eat. Helen

Helen, based on what I have read and seen from other plants, it takes a few years before you actually get bananas. What area do you live in?

Hi Helen, Looks like Fred has you set up. Good Luck. If you can't get through on that site, just try going to google.com and type in banana trees for sale. There are alot of companies that sell them over the net. Barb

I learned already quite a lot from the discussion in this thread. I recently got a lovely banana plant from a dear friend from the uk via this flower delivery company http://www.serenataflowers.com and after a couple of weaks I had the same problems as you had - brown leaves! Then like a miracle the plant recovered again and is doing great so far!
My question now is how often bananas get fruits? I have heard that they only get bananas once in their lifetime, but somehow I can't believe that. Is this really true? |

Hey everyone, I posted this same info on another blog about my banana tree that i want to give to the right person to take care of since I am moving far north. I bought it at http://realpalmtrees.com/ and it came with a certificate of authenticity and a terracota pot. Let me know if you want it, thanks everyone and valerier for this thread of info, I definitely learned alot as well.
If you want to see the banana tree i got go to their website... thanks, Dan Thanks, Daniel |
