Default Re: Last California Gold of the year!!!

BTW, California Gold, although reliable producer, doesn't produce more than 35 lbs of bananas per pseudostem, perhaps bananavilla or jearl have attained more than this. But from various friends, we obtained anywhere from 5 lbs to 35 lbs each year, so it is not a candidate for commercial fruit production in our area. I don't think it will ever be economically viable. But as something to show off in our yard, and real banana fruits coming from your yard, that is priceless.
