By 7am this morning we had filled a truck with free bananas, most were FHIA, Pome, Huamoa, Awak and none were Cavendish, they saw some beautiful Guineo Blancos and asked for them several times but had no chance of leaving with them.

Seconds after this photo, this 134 lb. FHIA-3 bunch was rolled into the compost and if the FHIA-3 bunch below that does not appear substantially heavier than 134 lb. it will be fed to Tiny later this week.

Your concern should be with what cultivars that you're able to successfully grow and how they taste under your conditions.
