Best day

I was told by a man that bought a Blue Java plant from me that in Hawaii they are served sliced up. The story he told me was that his wife and him were on their honeymoon. They were enjoying, what was sold to them as an authentic Hawaiian feast. For desert the guest were served plates of Blue Java bananas sliced. He said they were the most incredible bananas he had ever had.

I can tell you that grown here in coastal Southern California they are decent. But I am close to the coast so I don't get a lot of heat. During summer when it is 80 degrees at my house it is 85 degrees only two more miles inland. And 5-10 miles further inland it is 90 degrees plus. In my mind this variety needs lots of heat when it is maturing on the plant. The only problem with my theory is that then the growers in Florida should all be raving about this variety and most of them don't.
