RED bananas
I like smaller stature bananas under six feet if possible. I'd like a compact red banana that won't go off growing the roots like a buried Buick under fences and walkways. I have two yellow dwarfs (supposedly cavendish but I'm doubtful) that produce nicely, grow slowly and don't invade where several other bananas I had (cut from the Earth) and took over the yard.
So aside from recommendations on cultivar, and place to buy one thing is bothering me about red bananas.
I bought a small bunch (they were very dark maroon) today to see if I liked them and the one I opened was a long way from being ripe.
How the heck do you tell when a red banana is ripe :-)
