Thanks to venturabananas I am now the proud owner of Musa Paggi. It wasn't growing very well for Mark. He had it in a spot with a lot of shade and Ventura doesn't get a lot of heat. I'm hoping here in Long Beach it will be happier. I will keep you guys updated.

Best tasting banana I have tried so far... It likes it warm. Congrats.

I'm hopeful and excited to try it. I have been told it has a slight lemon taste to it. So I think I will really like it since I like the subacid bananas.

It has a bit of a tang but sweet, but not too sweet. Like a bowl of blackberries is how I describe it. Get them as soon as they fall off of their own accord.

Hi all, I ended up planting in the ground a different pup that the one first pictured. This "pup" was about six feet tall. It originally didn't look very happy after the move. After a period of acclimating it started growing quickly. It has since fruited at about 7' PS. It produced a very very small bunch of bananas. I don't think this is normal for this variety. The largest pup it has produced is about 2.5' PS. It is growing strong and will hopefully flower next summer.

My Paggi made it through the winter fine. The lowest we got down to was 37-38 degrees. It has no damage. My Gros Michel on the other hand has brown spots all over its leaves. But it is in a more open unprotected spot. Paggi is about 40" tall PS now.
