Hi Bill,

What size is the Paggi for local pickup? I am in the LA area and I'm interested in that variety (as well as the Red Iholene whenever you have more)

Hi,

Does anyone have any Gros Michel and Blue Java bananas that they are willing to sell? Interested in trying these bananas prior to purchasing a banana plant to grow at home.

Thanks!

I have some Variegated Dwarf Namwa (VDN) banana plants for sale.  VDN is a strange plant.  The variegation is very inconsistent.  It produces variegated and non variegated pups.  I would say about 25-50% of the pups are variegated.  The other pups aren't variegated but they can produce variegated pups.  The plants that are variegated can and will have changing intensity of the variegation.  Depending on the season the variegation can be very striking or very bland.  The variegation is not permanent.  I have had some plants start small with variegation and then lose the variegation when they get bigger.  So, these plants can and should produce variegated pups, but no guarantees.  Here are some pictures of how good these plants have the potential to look.










I have this three gallon VDN for sale. It is about three feet tall not including the pot. It currently is showing no variegation. $80 local pick up only.

I should also say that VDN is the most cold hardy variety of variegated banana that I grow.  It has survived outside for five years.  I get 300-500 hours of chill each winter.  My low usually only about 40, but I have gotten as low as 29 degrees F.  These are more difficult to grow than regular Dwarf Namwa, but easy for a variegated banana.  Just keep the soil dry during winter.

I will have some VDN plants that I can ship available soon.

Available right now for local pickup I have

Blue Java 7 gallon $75
California Gold 5 gallon $40
Dwarf Brazilian 2 gallon $35 and 5 gallon $40
Mysore 5 gallon $40
Paggi 2 gallon $35 and 5 gallon $40

I am going to stop growing and selling Paggi.  For me it grows very slow and struggles with my cool summer temperatures.  For people who grow it with more heat is supposed to be an excellent variety.  People who grow it in Florida and Texas rave about the quality of the fruit.  If you want it get it now while I still have some available.  I have 1.5 gallon plants that I can ship.  These cost $30 plus shipping.

I have a 1.5 gallon Dwarf Brazilian for $35 that I can ship.
