August was a bit dry and hot. I had less than 3 inches of rain and several days in the mid 90s. My April and May are probably drier than yours.

Re: Fhia-21
 

Keith,

I am trying to make sure that I have my FHIA-21 correctly identified in my collection. I cannot find a source that says whether or not the suckers have wine spots or not. I don't remember wine spots on the plants from TARS but that was 3 years ago and I didn't take notes. I would expect it to have wine spots being a plantain. I am stuck between whether this plant I have on my farm is a FHIA-21 or Hartón.

Re: Fhia-21
 

Few & faint, and it doesn't resemble any of the plantains that I grow. But keep in mind light affects the color intensity of those wine spots, color range is from white/green to dark red/purple.

Hector is just south of you and can probably post some photos.

Re: Fhia-21

Luis,


The FHIA-21 is a plantain variety!....A French type plantain variety!....

Re: Fhia-21
 

Thank you very much for your reply! I'm only growing dessert bananas except cardaba and orinoco... i don't know what to do with plantains besides fried them...

Re: Fhia-21
 

Luis,


There is tons of recipes!....Just to start, search for a mofongo recipe (you can get wrong with this)!....I love mofongo!.....Besides fried, you can boil them and served them with olive oil, a hint of garlic and onions!....I am getting hungry!....Luis is all your fault!.....LOL.....


Check my recently update of my thread "First FHIA-21 Plantain flowering!".......my first FHIA-21 Plantain bunch!....

Re: Fhia-21
 

Hi again! Boiling like potatos? But then you have to boil them green? Strange... LOL

Re: Fhia-21
 

Luis,


Yes like potatos!....Just cut in half means in half length and don't take the plantain peel off!...it will come easy off when they boiled green!....Also, a lot of people prefer them boil when they are ripe!....As I mentioned, search (internet) for a Mofongo recipe!..:08:

Re: Fhia-21
 

WOW! For us here it's very strange... i buyed two platanos in supermarket and try to eat them butting them in hooven with pork and they got too dried and unpleasant... we didn't heat it... i will try agin latter.
