Am also new to bananas...planted my first 6 varieties about 6-7 months ago...can't wait to see how they do! I am in South Florida, so climate is not an issue for me.

So far I have planted:

Dwarf Namwah
Dwarf Brazilian
Jamaican Red
Mona Lisa
FHIA 18
Goldfinger

Am considering planting Ice Cream and 1,000 fingers, any other varieties that you recommend would be greatly appreciated.

Sean,

You need Fhia2, Misi Luki, Monthan, Lakatan, Praying Hands, and Kanderian for sure.

sean · 08-10-2005, 11:37 PM

isnt the fhia2 the mona lisa? -also forgot to list- orinoco and dwarf orinoco

i just purchased dwarf namwah pearl and musa rose and am trading a dwarf orinoco for a praying hands

any thoughts on kru?

good thing is i am in south florida so can grow pretty much everything all year round...my only limitation is space and my wife

Sean,

That is a typo, should be Fhia3, Sweetheart. Kru is good, very tall, and like most reds, not many hands. Mine has just finished blooming for third time.

My Kru is only about 2' tall. I like reds.
