Get ready to go bananas with me as I take you on a tour of my backyard banana paradise! I’ve got five different types of bananas growing strong: Thai Black, Apple, Blue Java, Saba, and Rajapuri. Let’s dive into the wild world of bananas as I spill the beans on their unique characteristics, from taste to plant size. And wait ’til you see this! I’ve got three bananas starting to flower – it’s like Christmas in July! Join me as I geek out over my banana babies and share some tips and tricks for growing these tropical treats. So put on your explorer or boonie hat and grab your favorite snack (maybe a banana?) and let’s explore my banana-tastic backyard together!

Located in Summerville, SC, where the line of Zone 8B and 9A goes nearly straight across our property. So what to do? I’m going to try growing anything I can get away with from zones 9 and maybe 10! Might be getting some guava, papaya, and even mango’s to try to get them to grow and thrive in our little food forest.
I have watched days to weeks worth of YouTube videos on Back to Eden Gardening, wood chip gardening, permaculture, planting guilds and many other styles of gardening. I’m doing my own thing but still following what I’ve learned from all of these great youtube teachers, as well as grow a regenerative and organic garden. But seriously, a big thank you to all the creators I’ve been watching that have been outstanding at teaching me. I can only hope my videos continue to assist others and show that anyone with the willingness to try this, you can do it too!

That my friend would be shampoo ginger. I have 1 type of banana growing in several places and that would be the dwarf cavendish. I have been looking for the apple banana but haven’t been able to find it. Where did you get your apple banana from? I am in zone 9a fl.
