Default Re: Soloman Islands bananas

The '50-cent' is one that everyone here can get if they want, it is 'Monkey Fingers', 'Crocodile Teeth', 'Crocodile Fingers', 'Pisang Jari Buaya'...whatever you would like to call it is the same plant.

There were a few varieties there that you can easily get in the us such as 'Ice Cream', 'Mysore', 'Namwah', 'Williams' and others.

Here is my 'Pisang Jari Buaya' growing in Hawaii. It has been a fairly vigorous plant, and a lot of people seem to really like the fruit. It has gotten poor taste test ratings in some studies, it definitely has a unique flavor but I really like it and pretty much everyone I've given fruit to seems to really like the flavor as well.
