I was wondering if anyone else remembered that story. That place grew
dozens of banana varieties. They were on a narrow bit of land with the
ocean on one side and steep cliffs on the other side. I guess that
guaranteed the area would never freeze.
I don't remember exactly where the place was/is but it was definitely in
California somewhere.

see!? we weren't dreaming



Good work Marcella.
I considered doing a search but didn't have time at that moment.

I remember the mention of the variety called "ice cream". I can picture
a man taste testing that one, which makes me wonder if I saw it on TV. I
wonder if it was a segment on the Victory Garden TV show?
