Default Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)

Thank you Chris,

I like its disease resistance and good growth rates during the wet season. But Chris is correct about a very important characteristic, it is too wimpy for South Florida due to its lack of cold tolerance. Hardy describes its disease resistance not its overall hardiness.

Mine are beginning to come back after the dry season decline. I'm going to get pups off the mat I have at the farm and try one in a large pot in a more protected area for the next winter.
