Going bananas about growing bananas - a podcast by RNZ

Scores of hectares of bananas are grown here, mainly in Northland. Whangerai farmer Hugh Rose has a banana plant nursery, where he also grows paw paw and sugar cane. When Hugh's not growing tropical fruit he's spokesperson for Tropical Fruit Growers of New Zealand. He tells Kathryn about growing banana plants and how New Zealand-grown bananas could be in our stores in about five years.
