Hi Nick, I wondered which plantains you would recommend. I want to import a couple in the vein of a french, french horn or false horn plantain. Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted.

Dwarf Puerto Rican is very reliable in my area. Curare Enano is used a lot elsewhere. I think the tall varieties make bigger cleaner fruit, but they blow over too easily.

All dwarf Puerto Rican plantain.
