[quote=puggybw;8678]Hello all,

. . . . . . . can anyone recommend any other good tasting dessert bananas with large pseudostems??

I get tired of the cavendish always keeling over with fruit.

Thanks.

In your area, you can probably grow Lacatan. I'm a little biased. That is one of the best tasting banana in the Philippines. A banana that has a very stout trunk, if not the "stoutest", is the Philippines' Sabá. It is a great tasting banana, unlike the true plantain, although it is a cooking banana. But you can also eat it without cooking by let it get over ripe a little. Thing is, the texture will be pretty soft.
