But the smaller banana we had inside over winter is doing well but not growing as quickly as your bananas!

He's really into surfing, so I think I'd use one of those leaves as a surfboard and cruise over to La Jolla. He's starting a cactus garden at his new house, but maybe he should plant some of these - they're beautiful.JGHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710652130966518173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-16390039878649079692009-06-19T20:47:33.336-05:002009-06-19T20:47:33.336-05:00You see a boat.

Jamie and Randy are going there so you all can sail along together. Yes, this is hardy here. It is Musa bajoo, or hardy Japanese Fiber Banana. I do not dig it at all. Hardy to Zone 7, 6 with protection (or good siting). Well drained. A fun plant that flaps away all summer-until it gets all shredded:(tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-73973112352383141882009-06-19T13:13:54.319-05:002009-06-19T13:13:54.319-05:00Hi all!

But to make it a bit more exciting (since I'll have a banana leaf to fly on) someone mentioned Ireland and I've always said I'd like to go there.
