Sorry. Just excited.
They are definitely something to be excited about. Not as sweet as Namwah, but also different than Mysore varieties like Pisang Ceylon. Certainly not an apple banana taste. I have not tasted a Gros Michel yet, so I have no comparison.
With normal care they grow easy, are taking colder winter temperatures well and recover quickly after a cold spell.
I have seen photos of nice sized bunches, too, but I am a little doubtful of the weight descriptions I have seen 😉.
