The Florida Variegated banana, also known as Ae Ae or Hawaiian Variegated banana, is a unique and rare variety of banana. This banana plant, identified scientifically as "Musa 'Ae Ae'", is known for its striking variegated leaves and fruit, which have a mix of green and white coloration.
The Ae Ae is native to Hawaii, but it can be grown in other tropical and subtropical climates, such as Florida. In Hawaii, it has been considered a status symbol due to its rarity, beauty, and the unique taste of its fruit.
The history of the Florida Variegated banana is not completely clear, but it was likely brought to the state by plant enthusiasts due to its unique appearance and rarity. It requires a lot of care and attention to grow well, including lots of water, protection from winds, and regular feeding.
The fruit of the Florida Variegated banana is edible and is considered a delicacy. It is smaller than common bananas and has a sweet taste. However, this banana is primarily grown for its ornamental value rather than its fruit.
Please note that because of its rarity and the difficulty of propagation, the Florida Variegated banana is quite expensive compared to other banana plants.

However, we may have multiple orders when you place your order, so please check the processing times on each breeds description. We typically pull the inventory on a specific breed if the wait will be longer than a month. If you need a better estimate please contact us directly.

Hatching eggs are shipped individually wrapped in bubble wrap. Each egg is placed into an egg carton, which is also bubble wrapped. This box is filled with shredded paper for buffer. The box is then placed into a second, larger box and buffered. This allows the best hatch rate.
Plants are shipped Monday-Wednesday only. They are packaged in rolled cardboard and poly fill to avoid breakage.
