Default Re: Northern Growers - Bananas you can eat!

Mark , I did get some of the fruits to ripen. Since it was late October when it flowered I had to dig it up and move it to a nearby friends sunroom in a huge pot where it continued to produce hands for a short while. There were over 100 fingers Unfortunately a lot of the fingers died off no doubt due to the transplant shock even though I kept a huge amount of soil and didn't dig near the corm. The fruit that did ripen tasted like Hawaiian apple bananas to me. I'll definitely be growing that variety from now on.
