I agree while looking forward to taste this variety one day....
Sorry to mention the good old Blue Java debate: sometimes it seems to be worth while to try fruits from several different bunches of the same variety before making a final decision.
When I started my "banana" growing, I wanted the "real deal" Blue Java - IceCream" .The taste and quality of the first bunch I harvested of that mat was "so/so" with some nice fruit but others to better run to the store for a banana instead My latest bunch is totally different, not that it taste like vanilla ice cream, but each and every fruit was fantastic. Growing conditions, weather, fertilizer and water regimen will influence the taste from bunch to bunch.
If I remember it right, several members who have grown the SH3640 were disappointed of their first bunches, but now they have stated that their mats are definitely keepers.
