Btw please pm me your address so I don't have to search for it. I'm not sure if the growth tubers are going to make it as all the ones I've taken off the main bunch have gotten soft the next day. I think they need a little moisture. I may send a whole plant bottom.
Weather influence - true. Getting pineapple, soursop, guava, cumquat --- you name it flavors. And the tastes linger way longer than supermkt naners. When they are fully ripe and the flesh has softened I'll try to nail down the tastes. Gonna fry up a few when the skins blacken too for Nick's sake.

And I almost forgot --- the smell!!! The kitchen is gonna smell awesome in a few days.
