Re: has anyone heard of or ordered from miamifruit
Have not, please Let us know how they are.
Some here occasionally can be coerced to send some of their leftovers, you have to stay tuned in to the fruiting seasons and bug them though, it is worth it.

John Kohler from Growing Your Greens visits them and buys from them and made YouTube videos about them. I know I lost my harvests twice this year.

Re: has anyone heard of or ordered from miamifruit
I received my order yesterday it cost me 40 dollars for a banana variety box and 16 dollars shipping for a total of 56 dollars and heres what I received 6 gros Michael,6 pisang raja 8 mysore and 7 namwa the bananas are close to ripe but no quite ready yet I did try one of the namwa didn't think it was very good but not quite ripe yet was starchy and a little to firm cant quite explain the taste but not good will try again when ripe the fruit from Miami fruit was packed very well and is of excellent quality just a little pricy but worth it since you cant get these varieties in northern ohio I will order from them again when I can get more varieties to try

Re: has anyone heard of or ordered from miamifruit
I know that this an old thread but I would like to know how did it turn out? Was it worth the money? I’ve been considering buying from that company myself. It does seem way too expensive for a box full of bananas! Seriously, you’d be better off buying several really big banana plants for that price and then just wait to grow your own bananas! Am I right or what!

Sometime after that, I ordered my own banana box from Miami fruit. In my opinion, it was only worth the money the one time to be able to get several banana species that I wouldn't be able to get any other way. That said, I would never order it again. Mainly because I didn't like the taste of any of the bananas! I was mainly interested in the Gros Michel. I found them to be smaller than expected and did not taste nearly as amazing as I'd been led to believe. I'd been waiting 20 years to taste one, and perhaps they'd taken on a mythical quality and I was just let down by my own built-up expectations. For me it was worth it for the one-time experience. The box was absolutely packed with bananas, and the quality of the bananas was great. |

Re: has anyone heard of or ordered from miamifruit
[quote=mdouglas;336008]Was surprised to see the email alert about this thread. I posted in this thread back in 2017, apparently.

How disappointing you had to wait 20 years to find out you don’t even like the taste! Yeah I’m beginning to think I should probably pass on buying from this company. Thanks for the heads up!

Re: has anyone heard of or ordered from miamifruit
This whole thing reads like an answer to a Craig's List ad.
"Hi, this is MiamiFruit. Sooo... how big is your Cavendish, Butch? Oh, you didn't like the taste? Better luck at the next port, Sailor."
