After 3 years on bananas.org i post here my uptades, and i will write here my next uptades from my land!

I started in 2010 with a few little plant of Comune di sicilia (maybe Orinoco).
Now i have many cultivar of banana, many of wich are growed outdoor without any protection.

Bravo. I enjoyed the pictures. I didnt realize there was a banana that was common in sicily. Do you cook with it or just it it ripe?

I don't know if it is close, or it is the Orinoco.
But this banana is very sweet without acid taste, for me very good to eat riped.
I have to grow also Orinoco and Dwarf Orinoco to compare the taste.
I'll let you know in a couple of years!
