I'm currently growing out Senorita and Pisang Berlin, both reputed 40 day bananas (40 days from flag to harvest). I hope to see fruit from the Pisang Berlin later this year or early next year if bunchy top doesn't get to it first.

I missed this post when went to page 2.
It's easy to understand why it's popular. To borrow a phrase posted here a couple of years ago by Jeff Earl (something like it, anyways), "A fair tasting banana is better than no banana at all." For many people in marginal climates, something like Venite Cohol offers a better chance to get ripe fruit than any other available. I have pups of Senorita but I've been told that it's a taller plant and didn't ripen very quickly and I've heard from others that there is a dwarf version and I'd like to try that. Put me on your list for some TC plants, Gabe!
Thanks,
