Hi all, Can someone suggest names of bananas which would have the characteristics below. We have room for 15-20 plants and would like as much variety as possible with the shortest harvest time. Our current banana (from Mexico, unnamed) fruits well but takes over a year (14-15 months) from first pup or strong sucker showing to actually bearing -as I remember as it has not had fruit for last three years as has been left untended. We understand that there are some which bear quickly (and some which take forever😊
We would like the fastest bearing. We have plenty of headroom (20 plus feet) so for variety would like dwarf to tallest. Leaf color would be nice to have different. African Rhino we will be getting due to the unusual fruit. Herewith a picture of our “Mexican” banana growing in doors in the ground (in northern Virginia). Umm,having trouble posting it with thread, but got it into my album gallery - so if anyone can maybe help suggest what sort or what I need to do to identify it, that would be great.
Thanks,
Peter
