Well, I didn't intend it, but I think the last ones in my hand look bigger than they actually were just because of the way I took the photo. That said, they are as big as I've seen for Namwah, those three being 185-210 grams (6.5-7.5 ounces) and heavier than the average Cavendish at the supermarket. But it's not just this variety of Namwah: the bunch of "Ice Cream" Namwah I just harvested had fruit as large as 220 grams. I didn't do anything special. Namwah just seems to like my climate.

On the other end of the spectrum, you should see the Cavendish bunch I've been harvesting. Cutest little Cavendishes you've ever seen. Biggest ones are the size of a baby banana, 90-100 grams. They do not like my climate!
