They are great.
Hope this helps!
Just as a note to avoid confusion, what is called 'Apple' and 'Manzano' on the mainland is a completely different variety than the Hawaiian 'Apple'. Hawaiian 'Apple' bananas are either 'Brazilian' (aka 'Tall Brazilian') or 'Santa Catarina' (aka 'Dwarf Brazilian' and 'Prata Ana') of the Pome subgroup. 'Manzano'/mainland 'Apple' are a type of Silk. Both are AAB but from different subgroups and are very different plants.
