Re: african rhino horn
I have perhaps been growing this type all along but didn't know it due to the fact that it has a different name here in the Philippines: Tindok. So I haven't been inducted into the ARH club for this reason I think. They are indeed very interesting to grow. Even here where there's a banana plant in everyone's yard, not many people are familiar with it.
" ...bananas just take too long to give fruit." I planted grapes here long before I started in bananas, but have only gotten a couple of handfuls of fruit. Each week I get a truckload of bananas! Durian, mango and rambutan all take longer than bananas.
Apples, cherries, peaches, etc. all take several years to really bear fruit. I know it takes longer in your climate for bananas to fruit, but most fruiting "trees" need patience. I'm pretty happy about mine.
