Re: What are the Negatives for growing the SH-3640?
In my yard the SH3640 is a very vigorous and sturdy plant that fruits at around 10'. It produces large bunches, with large fat fingers, and the texture is on the dense side, no mealiness at all, The taste is closer to a Cavendish but much creamier, with a little tang to it. It does not pup like crazy, and the ones that do come up are usually straight up. I don't think it's appeal is based on taste alone, but all the other attributes that it possesses. That is why I have kept growing this banana and have gotten rid of so.... many others. I love sweet, sub-acid tasting bananas, which the 3640 is not. But it is better than any Cavendish banana in every respect, IMHO.
