I had thought Apr to Sep our growing conditions were similar and would've expected yours to be taller.

Are your summers to hot?

August was a bit dry and hot. I had less than 3 inches of rain and several days in the mid 90s. My April and May are probably drier than yours.

The wait for the first flower is difficult, not knowing if it is what it's supposed to be.

Good Luck.

i got this one from TARS miami, so hopefully it's true to type

Keith,

I am trying to make sure that I have my FHIA-21 correctly identified in my collection. I cannot find a source that says whether or not the suckers have wine spots or not. I don't remember wine spots on the plants from TARS but that was 3 years ago and I didn't take notes. I would expect it to have wine spots being a plantain. I am stuck between whether this plant I have on my farm is a FHIA-21 or Hartón.

Few & faint, and it doesn't resemble any of the plantains that I grow. But keep in mind light affects the color intensity of those wine spots, color range is from white/green to dark red/purple.

Hector is just south of you and can probably post some photos.

Luis,


There is tons of recipes!....Just to start, search for a mofongo recipe (you can get wrong with this)!....I love mofongo!.....Besides fried, you can boil them and served them with olive oil, a hint of garlic and onions!....I am getting hungry!....Luis is all your fault!.....LOL.....


Check my recently update of my thread "First FHIA-21 Plantain flowering!".......my first FHIA-21 Plantain bunch!....

Luis,


Yes like potatos!....Just cut in half means in half length and don't take the plantain peel off!...it will come easy off when they boiled green!....Also, a lot of people prefer them boil when they are ripe!....As I mentioned, search (internet) for a Mofongo recipe!..:08:

WOW! For us here it's very strange... i buyed two platanos in supermarket and try to eat them butting them in hooven with pork and they got too dried and unpleasant... we didn't heat it... i will try agin latter.
