Well I think the "corky" thing is similar to pineapples that are grown in the cold being sour..
The Hard spots are always at the top of the fingers for me so is that the last part to develop?
I'd like to know why it would take a buzz saw to cut thru a saba as well..
And for those that are wondering the Hard spots I am talking about are in a Manzano, and from what I read in the banana book should not be grown in Hawaii or measures have to be taken to get decent fruit. It has to do with the soil there according to the book.. Its easier just to grow a Brazilian. :^)
