Default Re: What bananas do you grow?

Sodak-Thanks for the kind words.

There is a Saba in the mix but it is not actually visible in this photo. (There are actually a good many other plants in the backyard and other side of the house that are not visible in the photo.)

The varieties are (supposed to be) from far left to right:

Rose, Goldfinger (FHIA-1) and Grand Nain (all behind fence)

Sweetheart (FHIA-3), Mona Lisa (FHIA-2), Goldfinger (FHIA-1), Praying Hands, Misi Luki, Red Iholene, Dwarf Namwah, SH 3640 and Dwarf Brazilian (side of house in front of fence)

Mahoi, FHIA-18, FHIA-23, Raja Puri, Dwarf Orinoco, Dwarf Plantain, Jamican Red, Dwarf Cavendish and FHIA-17. (other side of driveway, it is kind of hard to make out all the plants on that side but there are 9 varieties in that grouping)

The one with the bronze undersides to the leaves is the Red Iholene. The bloom on that variety is also very attractive. The bloom had not yet emerged when the picture was taken (around mid-July).
