Just Back from Costa Rica
I have never seen so many Bananas!!!! All types/sizes were growing wild everywhere.
If Delta ever finds my luggage, I will post some pictures.
The most remarkable banana that I saw was on with a solid black psuedostem. It was nearly 20 feet tall. It was a very striking plant and would be a great lanscape specimen. When I talked to the locals, they said it was once used for making fibers/rope, but now that is too labor intensive. The fruit was inedible with many seeds.
Is anyone familair with this type?
