Re: Florida Banana
Apparently they arent as popular as the AeAe variegated and are sometimes sold as that.

Re: Florida Banana
AeAe is related to Hua Moa and makes big fat plantains but can be eaten raw. Florida is not a plantain type and makes smaller but not too small fruits. I dont know for sure but i hear AeAe is bettee for south Florida but The Florida is better for the rest of us. I hope to have one next week. I have Tanee which is variegated and super hardy but fruits are seedy on Tanee.

Re: Florida Banana
I have an Aeae in the ground this year from PR giants. I also bought one of those variegated florida bananas off of ebay. It is in a pot but probably needs to be planted for a bit. I will try to get photos tomorrow to compare.

Re: Florida Banana
VARIGATED FLORIDA;
These guys are not very tolerant of cold weather. Or full sun, they burn very easily. The fruit tend to be grainy and have trouble filling out. I think its just a problem with the lack green on them. But if you get a bunch to mature properly they can be higher quality. They do get seeds if there is a chance for pollination, so you gotta be sure to clip those bells on an fertile varieties you have. Other than that, they are just as fast growing as most bananas. They are NOT a short cycle fruiter. They're more along the lines of Nam Wah, about 3-5 months to ripen. These guys are really just for looks imo. Though Because of the type of variegation they aren't too good for that either, they do burn real easily.

Re: Florida Banana
Well.....
The claims on it were one of the reason I was very eager to get one.... For my experience, is all I can ever speak for, it is not a banana that stands up to the claims on it. I've fruited it twice, one a new planted sucker, and the other established.... You can harvest any banana at 28 days..... Just saying. The only banana that I have that would even come close to a 28 day harvest point would be Patupi. They are basically full at that time. I'm not stepping on anyone's experience but that has been mine so far with this banana.
