I am literally gOinG BaNaNaS over this awe-inspiring characteristic Banana Farm! The sweetest and most charming owner, Don was the utmost welcoming with our arrival! While taking a Girls Day Roadtrip my friend had this place bookmarked as she really wanted a Banana Tree. Being that I absolutely LOVE Bananas I said lets do it! We pulled up the drive to find a gated entrance and to ring the bell to enter! One of the cutest entries and the beginning of our Amazing Banana Adventure!! Don greeted us immediately once stepping out of the car at the Banana Headquarters and asked what we were looking for. Immediately we were both captivated by Don's bountiful knowledge! He gave us a full tour of his Banana Farm that he owns with his wife Katie. Their Banana Farm is absolutely majestic with acres and acres of Banana Trees ranging in so many different kinds, flavors, and sizes! Don will let you sample each and every kind of banana that he has so you know exactly what Banana Tree you would like to take home. Much more than Bananas you will find here.. Among the acres you will also come across Lychee Trees, Logan Trees, Papaya and Mango Trees, Coconuts, and more! We also got to meet the little fur babies of the Farm; Nelo the Pup, and Sofi the Kitty! Such a homey all around experience that gives you that warm tingly feeling! If you want to become a Banana Expert, Don will teach you anything and everything there is to know about Bananas! You want to plant your Banana Trees (if planting more than one) every 8 feet away from each other. Once your Banana Tree is about a year old you will start to get Flowerings that take about 4 1/2 months to go through the Banana Making Process. Sprinkling Banana Seeds around your yard will make you a very lucky person if you send wishes to the Banana Gods, seriously! Bananas have many different varieties in which taste very very unique and robust.

Owner gave us a tour of the property talking about all the different varieties of banana he had as well as a taste test of different bananas so we could pick which ones we like to take home. Amazing experience, the only nursery I've been to that will go that above and beyond for you. read more

Did you know there are sweet bananas, sugar acid, and sugar starchy? Did you know there are 3 foot plants to 12 foot plants? Did you know there are plants just for decoration? Did you know that the bananas at the grocery store look pathetic once you see the variety available? If you're looking for a real banana, check out "Going Bananas." It really is simply someone's large backyard so please be respectful when you visit. You ring to be let in. I'd recommend calling ahead to be sure of hours too. I am so glad I made the trek out there to Redland, though. It was worth it. Don't go Friday midday, though. All the farmer's market vendors were buying their produce, and the owner was inundated. However, he tried to patiently show us through the different types of bananas and help us pick out the right plant. When they finally all left, he took us on the tour of the grounds, much of it not a part of the nursery but his hobby. It was so beautiful and peaceful. We bought a few plants and also some bananas to take home. The owner was very kind and knowledgeable. I'd highly recommend checking it out for the fruit or banana plants for sale. read more

So my entire family and some friends decided to take a field trip to this farm and we were soo amazed of how well kept and beautiful this banana farm was. The owners are extremely sweet and of course highly educated. My father wanted to come and check out the different varieties of bananas which we were surprised of how many kinds there were! They also let us try the different kinds they had available which they were all delicious and sweet! Their prices are pretty good and they also educate you on what the tree needs if you take it home. If you are in the area or need some good banana trees then you need to come here! read more

We love visiting Going Bananas! Don is a great guy and will happily give you a little tour around the 5 acre property on his golf cart. Beyond the amazing and infinite banana varieties he also has a large variety or fruit trees and and plants that he will shed light on as well (and often let you sample if they are ripe). I have purchased 3 different banana plants over the past year and a half from here and they have done so well in my garden! Don gives simple, easy to understand care instructions that are pretty much fool proof. Now I have a yard full of amazing bananas! read more

perfect place for quality family time and food. The owner is very respectful and taking the extra step to accommodate you and your guests. We had a perfect party in the restaurant and the the kids had a lot of fun. Hint: if you are looking for a place that can accommodate both adult and childern look no more. The French resturant and the childern playing area are connected with a door, so it is perfect if you want to have a family gathering were both the adult and children will have fun and good time. read more

Visited Don & Katie today for a great experience this morning. It's obviously a business, but we were welcomed like family. After sampling some bananas & lychee, Don took us on a e 0 minute walk through the banana plants & tropical fruit trees. At the end we bought our third banana tree from going bananas. This one is a "Dwarf Red Banana." Yes, the fruit is red and slightly sweeter than a store bought banana. We also purchased a jar of lychee honey from hives they have too. Anyone interested in bananas & tropical fruit would love to visit and be proud to support a local business run by extremely kind, humble people. read more

Even walked away with some avocados and bananas to take home. This place is solely responsible for my growing banana collection. read more

The land is huge and there are so many varieties of fruits available! Don was nice enough to give us a tour and let us try all the bananas to help us chose a variety that would satisfy our needs. We ended up taking a few plants home which were a great price and he explained all of the care needed and was more than happy to have us call him if we ever came into trouble. Great business and I will be more than happy to recommend it to others. Make sure you call before going and bring cash or a check! read more

My boyfriend and I have just picked up on gardening and planting fruit trees and after reading such nice reviews we decided to take a trip and visit this nursery. We saw Don as soon as we drove in and he was very welcoming and ready to have us sample around 10 varieties of bananas that he grows in his backyard. He gave us a tour on his golf cart and we were so amazed by how large the area is and the different fruit he has growing. We ended up buying a Saba banana tree and we can't wait to go back to get more varieties of bananas. read more

If you feel like you are driving into someones back yard and wondering if it is for the public. You are in the right place. Go through the gate and park by the delicious loquat trees. In the display building are the days ripe bundles hanging from the ceiling. It's like talking with your neighbor. They have you taste the different varieties and explain all the facts about what ever you are interested in. You then go out and see each variety from small to full size mature. So you know exactly how big it's going to be and how it looks. We picked up a Dwarf Red for the front yard because of it's colors and great taste. Then an Ice Cream for the side yard to grow tall and even more delicious. They have everything already potted and ready to go. Gives you a little information sheet on proper planting, feeding and care. We also bought their premixed fertilizer. Ours have been in for over a year and growing full and healthy. read more
