Thanks Brent!
I know Pitogo is on your list.
The Pitogos are more of a novelty than anything else...but they do have a nice mild flavor.
They pup very sparingly..at least for me. I have had six or so blooms...3 of which had zero bananas....everything looked good until the leaves kept opening with no bananas?? Back to Back terrible winters took a couple of the blooms. Right now I have two mattes with blooms..one the bananas are very small..so not sure if they are going to develop. I have a few pictures of a Pitoga raceme at Going Bananas in Homestead. Katie laughed at how pathetic she thought the raceme was. I will post them later.
The Pitogo bloom in the video is doing very well and I am hoping for some nice Ping Pong shaped bananas.
