Default Re: Looking for Opinions on Banana Choices

Goldfinger is good.
Dwf Cav and Williams are in the same family, so essentially the same, if you are looking for variety
.
The reds will be cold sensitive, so, if you have much of any winter below 45F, they will probably struggle. They do have nice flavor, however.

If you can get Belle, Sweetheart, Namwah, or Misi Luki, take those. Praying Hands, Cardaba Fhia-18 and Brazilian would also be good choices.

I've had AeAe and it is the only full grown banana I've had that just up and croaked overnight. They look good in humid climates (FL), but much less so in drier climates (CA). Fruit is nice acc to my wife.

My 2 cents.
