what's the meaning of the name? does it came from Peru?

And how tall the gold finger will grow?
Last year was the first bunch and it came out stunted. Produced small fruits but the taste was better than any other naner I've tried.

This year the main pstem is much fatter and the flower popped out taller at 6.5 ft. Will know how it really tastes now for sure.

Besides being dwarfish it is a short cycle -- sure to get ripe fruit in one season. Like the Viente Cohol.

The meaning of the name --- don't know, don't care. Maybe NANAMAN made it up. And it came from him in Lake Park, Fl --- by way of Palm Bay.
