I love my SweatHeart that I hope will set flower this year. Fantastic banana and beautiful leaves!

FHIA-3 Sweetheart with her pups. :woohoonaner:

Re: * FHIA-03 Sweetheart
 

It is a very tasty banana, much better than burro

Re: * FHIA-03 Sweetheart
 

The skinny mother plant on the left, only produced a 91 lb. bunch.

Hopefully the pup produces a larger bunch.

Re: * FHIA-03 Sweetheart
 

Had my first taste of one today, grown locally. 1 day and they'll be even better. Another good one!

Re: * FHIA-03 Sweetheart
 

This is one of my favorite bananas to eat and grow right now. Ours has no issues with fungus. Beautiful, stout plant.

Re: * FHIA-03 Sweetheart
 

How long before it blooms! Or maybe at what height?

Re: * FHIA-03 Sweetheart
 

We planted Sweetheart, Goldfinger, and Kandrian at the same time in the same location. The Sweetheart is the only one that bloomed within the first 9 months. I think the bloom height was around 8' for ours.

Re: * FHIA-03 Sweetheart
 

Good, then I have a chance. My Sweetheart was +7 feet when I pulled it into the garage over winter and hopefully now that it is back I the ground and 4 new leaves it might bloom soon. In Texas I noticed that unless they bloom by July 4 they really don't have time to mature before frost vibes...

It reaches the ground.

Que haces cuando
la toca la tierra?

Do you prop it up
and let it grow sideways?

Re: * FHIA-03 Sweetheart
 

I don't think so. Spam is a cross between pork shoulder and ham. Typical habit resembles a closed steel container. Bananas do not come in cans.

FHIA-03 Sweetheart

Plant crop pseudostem was a little over 8 feet.

Peduncle/rachis/bud was a little under 9 feet.

Re: * FHIA-03 Sweetheart
 

Both FHIA-03 Sweetheart were grown on the same small island, the NW plant retained the withered male bracts while the bracts on the SE plant fell off naturally.

Did one of those plants receive more sunlight? Much bigger bunch.:bananas_b

Are they both really FHIA-03 Sweethearts or was one mislabeled?

Re: * FHIA-03 Sweetheart
 

The bunch on the ground was over 60 lbs. not bad for the plant crop.


Yes

Re: * FHIA-03 Sweetheart
 

60 pound bunch! FHIA-3 is on my list for next year. Nice bunch!
