Just a follow up on the fruit 'taste report'. There is practically nothing to eat here and little to taste.

I tried them and was careful not to break a tooth! I did get a familiar banana taste and I was able to eat about a Jelly Bean size of fruit from each tiny banana. It certainly was a novelty to finally get to see a banana with seeds inside, so I'm glad I had the chance. I won't be tasting again unless they are seedless or mostly seedless (haha).

Just a thought, perhaps the fruit is a little bigger in the tropics so maybe they can get to eat more but it seems like there would be much better varieties.
