Default Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)

Hi,

last Monday I harvested two inflorescences from the super banana from Embrapa, the fruits are more like Musa "Prata" alias "Brazilian", one AAAB type, disease resistant. This was the second harvest! The first harvest was last year, after the frost from 26th June 2011 with -2°C. The fruits have survived the frost, but they were still unripen and I took the fruits to Germany. Then they ripened in Germany but the taste was not so good and too dry and without aroma. The new fruits from the second harvest after the frostfree southern winter are much better, larger and with a good taste, ripen at the plant.

There is also one another harvest from Nanicao, in the next weeks I will also harvest at my pond in my banana special garden.

Best wishes
Joachim
