Congratulations! They certainly look good.

austinl01 · 04-17-2009, 06:52 PM

Very beautiful bananas! I wish I could taste one. Eat a nice, plump one for me, ok?

island cassie · 04-17-2009, 07:43 PM

Xavier - 18ft of pstem to where the flower bud came out, leaves huge and over the roof of the house.

Thanks everyone for your good wishes - the corm must have come from Jarred's best mat to do so well. But they are ripening visibly as the weather is warm, and with 200+ to eat...... I think a surprise visit to friends will be in order.

My son in England asked me to bring some over to him in May when I go back there, but they will be long gone by then. But I have bunches on other plants that might be ready at the right time.

Come on over Cassie! I am ready right now. I can boil hot dogs and usually don't burn frozen pizza. Bring your hubster and we will invite the rest of the Vegas gang over for banana splits!

Scot - let's party!!! No-one knows how to party like folks from North America I have found! We have friends here from Colorado, Alabama, Carolina, Maine, Florida and all over - lots of Canadians too and they all throw awesome parties!!!

LilRaverBoi · 04-17-2009, 08:37 PM

Wow...great job with your plant! It had to have been quite healthy to produce so heavily. I'm sure the results speak for themselves, really. They look tasty! Enjoy the fruits of your labor...literally!

Bananaman88 · 04-17-2009, 10:08 PM

Congrats, Cassie-that's one heck of a bunch!

Drinks on me!

Nice IC's, I C.

It's great to live in the carib islands. Visited my wifes relatives several times in PR and saw paridise on earth. The Huertas family owns one small mountain and the main road is named camino Huertas. About 80 folks or so live there.

First time I ever saw pigs hanging in the trees. They had them dressed and split in half waiting for us to show up. Sorta like hanging banana bunches. When we left the only thing hanging were the feet.

Oh, and they made coquito with like 200 proof rum. Had a hard time finding the hotel back in San Juan. Never forget it. Especially the fresh morcilla - made with fresh blood from the pigs just slaughtered. It's an island thing.

Puerto Rico is awesome-been there a couple of times myself. Last time we went to the rainforest and it was simply beautiful! Sorry-I'll try not to hijack the thread.

Brent, the disease is getting to you, I can see your itch... It's an Agouti idea to Guanta join our gang.

Rite, Scot, Beth?

lorax · 04-18-2009, 12:13 PM

I don't want to thread wreck Cassie.... But here goes!

Brent, you should guanta join the gang. Agouti good idea of the threadwreck you're capable of, before you tapir off into general obedience to topic.

Chironex · 04-18-2009, 12:42 PM

Agouti idea. We could make a make a nametag for Brent and tapir onto his shirt. Then if he qualifies, upon review of his threadbusting prowess, we will know if he's guanta make it. Arawana do that?

Agouti! Aquoti! Aquoti! Now we tapir off and see if Brent Guanta be in.

Sorry...Cassie...

Caloosamusa · 04-18-2009, 01:03 PM

Good morning all! Including the thread-wrecker gang!!! :-)

Island Cassie, I posted some comments the other day but I want to repeat, I wish my Ice Creams looked like that! On the IntBananasearch site, (I forgot the acronem) one publication stated that the Blue Java does better in a tropical environment and fruit production is not as good in sub-tropical conditions. Your pictures are a awesome testimony to this "finding." Great job!! I hope they taste as good as they look!

island cassie · 04-18-2009, 03:06 PM

Very droll gang, haha!!!

Caloosamusa, thanks for the compliment, obviously hot and humid suits them well as they have really taken off here. The ones I tasted were more tangy than I had anticipated, but I will let them ripen more and see if the flavour changes.
