lady finger bananas
« on: July 20, 2018, 10:33:53 AM »
hey everyone
when I was surfing the Internet I found the topic about lady finger bananas.
I didn't know that there is something like that, but I also read that they can be grown indoor. is it true? have you ever tried it? where can I buy seeds?

Yes indeed there is such banana. They don't grow from seed only by pups. I grow many of them and they are very tasty with an intense flavour, maybe the best banana. They come from SE Asia. In Thailand they are called 'leb bu nang' and they are more expensive.
They grow like 2-3m high and produce many bananas. Here is a banana in a 50 liters container.

If you are interested in a plant, I have for sale 1m high 1 year old. To send it I need to cut the leaves and the roots, only leave it with a little bit soil. It costs 22 Euro plus shipping.

I have lady fingers here. They are large/tall compared to some other quality bananas, but they are very productive.
