Hello friends,
Gabe15 says it could be Cardaba, perhaps. In order to make it more sure, I
furnish you with more infos about my banana.

1. Cold and wind hardy even to have endured 20F with simple protections.
2. Grew very fast, took only 20 months to bloom including the winter time of
dormancy.
3. The stem is not tall, about 8~10ft from the ground to the plant's crown,
but is fat and stout.
4. Fruits look like those of Orinoco, but the tree and the leaves are different.
5. This is my first fruiting of this banana, but the banana friend who gave me
the pups of this banana says the taste is very good when fully ripe.

Hello friends.
In addition to the above pix, I show you the fruits of Musa Cardaba in order
to compare each other.
Don't you think they resemble very much?

So my banana could be Cardaba as Gabe15 says.
Does anyone have other opinions, please?

Hello fiends,
I eat the fruits of this banana which tasted like sweet potapoes when cooked
green, and stickily sweet when fully ripe.
So it is true that this is certainly one of the D/P bananas.
And considering from the all factors previously posted, I can also ID this is
most probablly CARDABA as Gabe15 said.
Is anyone who has different opinion,please?


This is a picture of the fruits as of today:

I do not have Cardaba but when I do I will gladly update the thread with pics of mine to compare.

Congrats on your bloom, enjoy!

A few pics of two Musa I bought as Cardaba , kind of smokey gray colour , different from thecolours on all my other Musa. very round leaves also.
Is mine Cardaba ?
