I've actually had the fruit from the plants where I got mine from, and they are like normal 'Namwah'. They are soft, kinda creamy and very white. They are sweet, but not super-sweet like a 'Sucrier', very flavorful though and generally well-liked. Occasionally for some reason, the centers can become pithy and for this reason it is sometimes not preferred as a dessert banana. In Africa, it is commonly used as a beer banana in replacement of the traditional beer cultivars.

This is on the student farm I am part of. We currently have 1 acre on the university's research farm which in total is 150-200 acres I believe. We also just acquired a (small) mature coffee field which we can experiment with intercropping. I would like to plant cacao and bananas among the coffee.
