Default Re: Are there any other....

The mat has produced 4 blooms over the last year, but I have yet to try a Rose banana. The female fingers on two bunches shriveled up and died before getting anywhere near ripening (despite still continuing to produce male flowers), one looks like it will have few if any female fingers, and the other has been hanging around for 8 months but hasn't ripened yet. I haven't had bunches fail like this on any of the other 10 or so varieties that bloomed in my garden. So, no, unfortunately, I can't comment on the flavor.
