SUMMARY:Banana Plant Sale
DESCRIPTION:This plant sale is bananas! \nWe’ve got a selection of beautiful banana pups (young banana plants)\, grown with love in our community gardens and nourished by compost from our Second Bite initiative. \nIf you’ve ever wanted to grow your own bananas\, this is your chance — pop along and pick up a pup of your own. \nWe’re selling Misi Luki (Musa acuminata hybrid)\, a white-fleshed Lady Finger banana\, originating in Samoa. This variety is perfect for backyard growing\, reaching three to four metres tall and producing short\, fat\, deliciously sweet bananas. \nBananas love to be well-fed and watered. Plant yours in a sunny\, sheltered spot and in around 18 months you’ll start enjoying your own home-grown harvest. \nCash and EFTPOS available — but hurry\, banana plant numbers are limited! Every pup you buy helps support our local environmental work.
