I was waiting patiently for the 18's to finally ripen.When walking towards the Fhia 18 plant I was amazed to see 3 ripe bananas in the middle of the heavy bunch.This variety was the one I had been waiting for.As I picked and chewed the ripest of the 3,I was thrilled in what I was tasting.This variety in my opinion,was 3rd next to a perfect Manzano and or "Nanaman's" Dwarf Namwa.A very sweet tasting fruit,followed by a rush of apple-manzano taste,then it leaves with a mild soft flavor:discocrazed:.I was really impressed,this one's a keeper!

Congrats! Awesome!
I vote for the bananas. They look so huge and so sexy. If I can grow half as much as that fruit I'd be happy.

Congratulations on a truly nice harvest, you're making me even more zone envious as we're still looking at possible sub zero temps. here in N. Illinois by the end of the week.

After all the work you've done, if you don't grow some nice fruit from your plat, I'll buy you a bunch!!:giveflowersnana:

Hey Buzzwinder, I grew up there in Berwyn. Moving to CA was the best thing I think I ever did (beside the bananas). I'll never move back! As the saying goes...

If you don't like the weather...wait 10 minutes and it'll change...:08:

I'd like to know what kind of steroids you're feeding those things? Can we get a congressional hearing? Those are great pictures !!! Can't wait to see what comes out of the project next! Congrats!

I love the look of the red ones... (insert image of Homer Simpson, eyes rolled back, slack jawed, and drooling...grrrshggg )

Hey Jarred, can you make a drooling homer like banana smiley?
