I came across the name of this banana on youtube. Has anyone ever tried one of these. I never seen it mentioned here. Its an interesting video on bananas in general. YouTube - The Bountiful Banana (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQyIvvqsYFo).

Well, I'm having the second summer noreaster coming through today. Temp are around 58 F which I think I read bananas stop growing at that temp. The wind is not suppose to be as bad as they first thought so hopefully my plants won't get shredded.

Here's a great website for weather in the Massachusetts are.
60.5°F &nbsp Milford, Ma Weather-Home Page (http://www.pdfamily.com/weather/)

This is another weather website I go to
WXnation: Weather Forecast, Radar, and Live Webcam Resource (http://www.wxnation.com/)

I Think Silk Fig Is The Same As Apple, Manzano.

Thanks Tony, I see that there is another previous post on this and the different names it goes by.http://www.bananas.org/f2/apple-manzano-brazilian-pome-silk-same-8410.html#post80800

Not sure how to link to a previous post? Is that called a linkback?
