They are really tasty little fruits.
I don't know why they aren't grown more often. I did have trouble getting the real thing at first; the first one I bought wasn't a pitogo. I picked up one a couple years ago at a plant show and hit the mark.

Its a good one to have. I just wish that they had larger bunches, because they do taste real good.
And they don't seem to like soil that's too rich. I have a lot of problems with mine getting new leaves in the richer areas.

Mine oddly needs extra calcium compared to my other bananas. I use gypsum and dolomite once a year.
