What are the differences between this and a standard gros michel?
I have gros michel and it certainly doesn't have the red to it.

In my opinion, it's something that newbies will fall for.

Just an FYI: You'll probably get b****-slapped for posting something like this in one of PR-Giant's posts. He'll make you look like the banana on this platter: :chefnaner:. ;-p If your "Gros Michel" is missing the distinctive pink coloration on the petiole base of its younger pups, it's probably not a Gros Michel.

I have 7 of the Gros Michel clones in my collection in Puerto Rico, 3 of them are dwarf. The Highgate and Cocos I've had for a while and recently I brought back the Lowgate from my collection in Jamaica.

The Highgate is a dwarf and the standard is a taller clone.

All Gros Michel are bananas, but not all bananas are Gros Michel.

All Highgate are Gros Michel, but not all Gros Michel are Highgate.

Does one taste different from another?

I'd like to express my gratitude for making this transaction quick and easy. It was great only needing to write one private message, wish all could be this simple.

Included with the DGM are a free Tigua and Patupi, Good Luck

Here's some info on the Tigua.

I read the link a few years ago and think that someone near Oakland was also getting them to harvest.

Congratulations on your 'Yamunamba' acquisition.

Here's some info from the Florida trials and a link on how well they grow in SoCal, both are from about a decade ago.

They are certainly beautiful corms.

Hi Darla, that one went to the first p.m., but I potted up a few extra. If you want one it should only take a few more days for them to root out.
