BUT it was that FOUR YEAR wait to bloom that's a killer! Quote:
Many don't know about site specific searches from a second party search engine and would be uncomfortable using them. It is a very good tool especially if you open them in a second tab which again many may not know how to do that easily. All of them are what makes this community work. If everyone searched everything and never asked any questions, repetitive or not, it would be a boring place here on the forum. The few questions asked would be technical ones that had not been asked and would not spur the interest of the casual or amateur who couldn't understand the technicality of the questions. Often these repetitive questions lead to very good discussions and time does not stand still. What may have been gospel last year may not be so now! The other thing maybe they just don’t have time to do research but they can push out a quick question and them come back later and hopefully get an answer. The forum which has an excellent reputation as very friendly, would become stiff, snobby and unfriendly much like a well known Palm forum. Many lurkers will never come out of the closet if they feel they will be chastised for asking a “simple” question. Everyone, except the rare occasional person that thrives on stirring the proverbial pot, should feel welcome here. I did not post this to be hostile and yes I too am tired of my search results being diluted. Sometimes you just have weed out a few and maybe go to page two or even three. Changing a few words in the search can also affect your search results greatly. Personally I welcome the newbie questions as it gives me a chance to see where they are coming from and their skill level. Just my opinion and it is not meant to offend, aggravate or P…Off anyone.

Re: Ae Ae flowers - it took 4 years!
Calling on all Ae Ae growers. Need recipes for these guys when they are ripe.
Especially from you folks in Hawaii where the fruit are used ripe for cooking. Tried several full green recipes and I was not very happy with the results. Last edited by bananimal : 09-13-2012 at 01:21 PM. Reason: type too faszttt |

Re: Ae Ae flowers - it took 4 years!
I've only done them sauteed in butter. They were awesome. I'm sure they'd be great as maduros. In terms of Hawaiian traditional cooking, roasted in their skins would probably be the most common way to cook them. But I'm not much of a banana chef, I prefer desert bananas.

Slice 'em, steam 'em, eat 'em with a little salt.

Also, I heard that bean plants can add some nitrogen to the soil - have anyone tried that to help naners live well?
