Some of the short ripeners?
I thought there was just the Veinte cohol as short ripener. What are the other short ripeners?
I'd love to ry one.
Senorita should be a short ripener but it is practically unobtainable. Kru should be a short ripener but is very very cold tender (so much tender that is practically unusable; even if short ripenining, the days in the year were you don't approach to damage temperature aren't much more than the days needed for ripening.
I'm curious because the long ripening time is maybe one of the biggest problem in obtaining bananas.
