I just picked my first bunch of ripe bananas!

The first of the Orinocos that bloomed in June has one yellow banana in a bunch of 18 naners--so it really only took about 4 months. Not bad! I was expecting 6 months. Now I just have to wait for the second Orinoco and my Raja Puri to get ripe.

I also have an Orinoco that just bloomed that I will experiment with some ways of getting it thru the winter--not a big bunch, so it won't matter much if they do not make it.
