Anyone Have Bananas?

Manzanos, if I can find them, but I'll consider others.

I have lots of plants to trade.

If you dont find your Manzanos I have dwarf cavendish and an unknown dwarf with babies. Lots of other people with lots of different bananas so be patient.

I'm from the north so please excuse my ignorance, but aren't Manzanos apple trees?

Dear Skaz . . . I could'nt pass this one up! I have three thousand fruit producing Cavendish Banana trees (Called Ganeo) on the side of the mountain here in Puerto Rico. How many do you want ? I could get a half dozen "pups" in a box. I need: (from Home Depot) Hibiscus "Painted Lady" ,,, Purple leaf Plectranthus (New upright purple Sweedish Ivy) Green Sweedish Ivy cuttings, or anything easy to root for hanging baskets ???

geesh I have been pulling up the green Swedish ivy and throwing it away. The house we bought had it growing in the flower bed. Also another kind of dark green ivy that grows up the wall

Willmetge,

Manzano is called an apple banana - the fruit is supposed to have an apple taste to it, although I've never eaten one. Check this out:

Logos,

Funny how things work out - I just traded away a Painted Lady Hibiscus.

I can't find anything at all on Cavendish Ganeo. Is it a dwarf Cavendish? How tall does it grow?

The Plectranthus that are sold in the Home Depots around here are the Mona Lavenders. Let me check around to see if I can find what's on your "want" list. There are usually Painted Ladies available, as well as green Swedish Ivy. I'll also see if I can find the Purple-leaf Plectranthrus.

I have some banana trees but dont know what kind. they have small fruit on them when they do have fruit, The hurricanes have wiped them out the last few time and they are always getting small trees bythe side. I usually just cut them off as I dont want a big grove. They are not apple banannas tho. Are you interested. Mary
What do you have to trade if you do?

Mary,

Thanks for the offer, but I really need to know what kind of banana I'm planting. Thanks for responding, though.
