VARIGATED FLORIDA;

These guys are not very tolerant of cold weather. Or full sun, they burn very easily.
The fruit tend to be grainy and have trouble filling out. I think its just a problem with the lack green on them. But if you get a bunch to mature properly they can be higher quality.
They do get seeds if there is a chance for pollination, so you gotta be sure to clip those bells on an fertile varieties you have.

Other than that, they are just as fast growing as most bananas. They are NOT a short cycle fruiter. They're more along the lines of Nam Wah, about 3-5 months to ripen.

These guys are really just for looks imo. Though Because of the type of variegation they aren't too good for that either, they do burn real easily.
