Hello!
I'm obviously new around here, and I was hoping somebody could identify my mystery naner. I bought it in central Florida (north of Deland) from some Mexican people. The only English they could say was "short, fat, sweet". Since the woman didn't wink, I figure she was talking about the fruit and not me.
The flower popped out about 9 months after planting. Where it came out is about 7' high. About 5 months after I planted, hurricane Matthew blew through and tore up the leaves, but the stalk was unhurt, so it seems to have strong roots. The leaves get shredded VERY easily, as opposed to a dwarf Namwah I just planted where there hasn't been any shredding at all. The fruit took a little more than 4 months before it was rounded enough to harvest. The plant produced two hands, with 8 fruits each.
I've included pix below. The shot of naners on stalk was taken a couple weeks after they appeared. I ate the one in the picture and it was slightly tart in the middle, but that could've been because it was just a tiny bit not ripe.
If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it. I have limited space and don't want to buy the same thing again. Thank you!
(I tried to upload photos from my gallery, but they didn't appear.)
