Does anyone out there know where to get a FHIA-23? I don't mind if it is from a nursery or not.

Why you want one that grows so slow? Crossbreed?

I actually was not aware that it grew slowly. I thought it would be cool to grow FHIA bananas. I have read that this one could have a taste close to the gros michel. That is what I have read I haven't found much first hand accounts.
How slow is slow I am growing a Goldfinger at the moment. Is it faster or slower than that?

I'm not sure it was released. I just referenced what's on the Encanto Farms banana site. I would say a lot slower since there isn't anything slow about a Goldfinger unless it being cold stored from what I've seen. :^) Other's may have other thoughts on the Goldfinger. Or even the FHIA-23 if they grow it. :^)

How long have you had your 23, and where did you get it?
