Description

The listing, 1 LARGE Topical Plants BOX has ended.

Winner must pay shipping for large flat rate box (14.95) Pay pal so it can be shipped quickly! BUT it will include: I Kru Banana rhizome,(sweetest desert banana) 1 Dwarf Orinoco Banana rhizome (sweet strawberry tasting fruit) 1 Pineapple Gold plant, 1 Organic Lemon tree plant, 1 Black Pearl Pepper Plant, 1 Red Rubin Basil Plant and if credits go over 4000 I will include Stromanthe sanguine "TrioStar"
I will try to fit in the banana plants but if they will not fit, it will have to be the rhizomes but they will regrow into adult plants. They are over a year old. The pineapple plant is a white with slight yellow fruit and almost no acidity! I love these! Great for people with sensitive teeth! Extremely sweet! Should bear you many little pineapples in aprox. 1-1/2 years These are 6 months old.

So are the banana plants actually at the point of growing bananas? Or what is that in the picture??

Sep 17th, 2011 at 9:06:49 PM PDT by

One picture is of a batch of bananas that grew for me and I was showing the length of them with my finger. The bananas would more than likely be larger if the tree were grown in a larger pot or in the ground. The ones being sent to the winner are pups that have been left to grow with the mother plant for about a year, they were kept small (left in the original pot) and are close to 6 mo. old and others are a year old. I can send older rhizomes if the winner wants that but the plants themselves would be to large so it would be the rhizomes and they will grow rapidly. These banana trees can start bearing fruit in 18 month from pup to adult stage....I have had these (pups) for 8 to 12 months.

And if it goes over so many credits would you be willing to do free shipping? I love banana trees and would love to have these, but shipping would be the only problem.

Hi Sabanana, I cannot do free shipping, I wish I could but my temp jobs are not paying enough for me to be able to do this. Sorry. And I understand about the expense part of it, maybe by next year I will be able to but I don't see it in the near horizon.

Are these grown in a greenhouse, outside or inside?

Sep 18th, 2011 at 9:14:20 AM PDT by

I grow them inside in winter but take them outside in spring and summer. This year I will be cutting them all down and wrapping up the rhizomes to place in a cool room for the winter....this year I don't want to mess with so many plants.

I never knew Bananas grew in PA. I am in Fl now and my neighbors have Banana trees all over the yard. Well they were my neighbors but house is empty now.

Hi GrandmaBev, they grow for me in spring and summer outside and inside for late fall and winter. They really look nice with small white Christmas lights strung up them for Christmas. I will miss that but it will be good to not have so many plants to deal with to.

How do you think these would fair in a hot climate? Like AZ, it was 101 today.

Arizona is one of my favorite states! Was there for a couple weeks in the late 90s and fell in love with the whole state! As far as growing the plants there, I would think they would do fine. The Dwarf Orinoco might need some shade and the Kru would probably turn a very beautiful red on the stems from the sun but you would have to do some research on that just to be sure, or plant them outside in pots and see if they look like they are turning brown, you might have to move them to partial shade. The TriStar, that I know will need more shade but the rest I believe would be happy.The TriStar I usually keep inside where there it receives slight morning sun and that's it and it has been very happy that way.

Sorry, I meant the Trio-Star
