Silk Fig (Dessert): One of the best-tasting dessert bananas available in Hawaii. Plants are 7-12 ft. high with medium-size bunches. Fruits are smallish and mostly round, and the skin is thin and edible. They have a wonderful taste and consistency. If you're only going to plant one banana, this is an excellent choice. After Apple and Williams, probably the most-planted commercial banana on small farms.

Yep, that's who I got it from. Has been one of my slowest plants too, though didn't help that I accidentally broke the original 3' tall plant at ground level. Still, only 2 pups after 3 years while the sucrier I got from him at the same time has given me fruit and about a dozen pups.
