Hey, SBD49.......Strange name, but...what the Hell; really good to hear from one who has 100 banana trees growing in the yard. When I grow up, I want to be just like you, with a bunch of banana trees in the yard. Welcome......

Hey, Spectrum.....Three weeks ago, I loaded up my pickup, and headed south to my home in Mexico. I was going over the mountains on Hwy 395 s near Mammoth Lake in California in the middle of a snow storm. I thought I would have to chain-up because of the storm, and then I remembered what you said about "growing tropicals in the Great White North" and "more of a challenge" and all that babbling you done. Well, it must of left an impression on me, because I had the damn-est urge to pull over and plant something. But, about that time I started to sober-up. I guess I'll never learn how rewarding it can be to see your own banana tree poking it;s little head up through the snow.

You know, Spec, (can I call you Spec?) 40 years ago, I tied a snow shovel to the grill of my car and drove south until someone asked me: What's that thing on the front of your car? That's where I stopped. I guess there is some kind of masochistic pleasure in growing bananas and other tropical fruits while you are ass-deep in snow, but that is really not my idea of fun. I think gardening should be a way of working up a sweat so you can sit down and crack a cold beer. Now that's gardening!
All in fun, you guys; I don't want you throwing snowballs at me,

I recently ordered a banana plant from The Banana Tree, and took it with me to my house in Sinaloa, Mexico, where I planted it in 1/2 potting soil and 1/2 sand. The first two weeks, it grew alittle over 8", and I hear it now is really taking off.
My growing tip for you guys, is to get the hell out of Ohio, or what ever terrible, cold place you live in, and head south........

That's very true; I was ugly until I started eating bananas. Now I am extremely handsome....

I have some Moso and Water Bamboo seeds. I would trade some for anything tropical or cool....
