![]() They seem too big for sweetheart but I dont know. Its a keeper whatever it is. Noce size and good flavor. It needed propping though.

![]() Shape is correct for sweetheart, but they are much bigger size fruits than mine or my buddies produces here in florida. maybe a just a well feed plant? One trait I always remember when eating a sweetheart is that the texture of the outer flesh is perfect but the inner core is mushy/slimy

![]() The plant didn't get any special care. It was pretty neglected actually. These are just really big fruits.

![]() Heres the bananas on the right, store fruit on the left.
The sweethearts taste decent. They are a little mushy compared to store fruit. I think namwahs and cavendish fruits are better. ![]() |

![]() Gabe, I think the Maoli bananas are slightly longer and more curved; these have very little curve to them.
It kind of resembles a photo I saw years ago of a Goldfinger. Also the Goldfinger has a sparse number of 'fingers' on the hand, most Maoli's I've seen had more fingers. (yeah, I know Gabe has more 'nana experience in his little finger than most of us together... but I still think I'm correct in this instance - he's only human, and can't possibly remember everything) Last edited by Yug : 10-16-2020 at 08:06 PM. |

The type of Maoli I was thinking of for comparison would be one more like this: https://photos.app.goo.gl/2gJyfWcAoGozKp3Y8
