Does Grand Nain x Sumatrana produce edible fruit?
Can anyone tell me if they have personal experience growing this variety? And, does anyone have pics of mature plants/fruits? I saw a couple little ones at Home Depot today, very pretty variegated leaves and max height is supposed to be under 10ft. So I'm wondering what the fruit is like, and how much fruit it will produce? I wouldn't want to plant any nanner that isn't worthwhile to eat...

Re: Does Grand Nain x Sumatrana produce edible fruit?
Yes, it is supposed to have edible fruit. From what I understand (never grown this one), it has the fruiting characteristics of the 'Grand Nain' and the leaf characteristics of the sumatrana.

Re: Does Grand Nain x Sumatrana produce edible fruit?
It is very cold sensitive, chokes easily, and if the fruit is edible, it is very, very small. Mine has flowered 3 times and fruit plant has never been able to hold fruit to maturity.

Re: Does Grand Nain x Sumatrana produce edible fruit?
I just bought A sumatranaor (zebrina x Grand nain) from Florida hill nursery, it came tall and skinny, with old leaf crispy all the way up the pseudostem, after peeling a tiny bit of the leaf back I see what looks like rot, upset, I emailed fhn, and their email account inbox is full. ☹️ I have pics, I am new to bananas I have 3 other varieties and all are healthy but this one. I have a super dwarf Cavendish, a truly tiny, a double mahoi, and now the sick on arrival, sumatrana x. Maybe someone can instruct me on what to do. Worried it's already started eating itself from rot, and it feeding on moisture. PLEASE HELP.
