![]() Awesome bananas, Taylor!!! I can't get over how short the CA Gold banana is. This must be a short banana--looks to be about 6 ft. It would probably be an easy one to dig up and store for the winter.

![]() Taylor, what are you going to do with the C.Gold fruit? Are you going to bring it in and try to ripen them when it gets too cold?

![]() I think they will ripen before our first frost.
3-4 months from now is Oct-Nov ~15...and our average first frost is Nov 17th. Last year our first frost was in December though. |
