takes a bit more than 3 months to grow a bannana tree from ground level Jjai.

I agree they went up suspiciously fast in the beggining, but dont expect cheapos till next summer

supply and demand. Most houses here have banana trees in the backyard. And there is a bloke on the Esplanade that sells them out of the back of his truck for next to nothing. I will buy them and on sell them if you like

Surely not every tree in all the plantations in QLD copped it i can understand maybe 2 thirds of the crops going, but come on ..Like i said they still had enough to cover both states(like dan says everyone has a banana tree in their back yard)i cant see QLD`rs buying them if they have them growing in their yards..It`s just a rort i wouldnt be suprised if woolies have scouts out there(QLD)& they buy out ppl like you were talking about Dan(the guy who sells from back of his truck)& then hike the price up for us in NSW..

You have to understand that the supermarkets etc have their own specific growers that they buy from. If they buy from other growers then they are likely to breach the contracts.

The main growers were 100% flattened, the entire region. The cyclone covered an area almost as big as NSW itself

Dan them growers obviously cant supply them any way, so they would be in breach i`m sure in times like these woolies do & can source from elsewhere(worldwide). Got a bag of oranges the other week didnt realise they were product of usa, i wouldnt have bought them.they were 2.98 for 3kg bag navels.

Most Oranges come frozen from California though we still grow a large amount locally.
