I bet your French Red Fruit will be of the best quality just like your plants and your pictures. Thanks for the update. I hope a taste report is coming next. Good job Bro!

*****An Update!*****


French Red keeps fill-in very nicely!....I cut out the flower bud and took out the plantain fingers flowers, hopefully it helps with the fill-in!......I'm still very impressed with the size of the French Red fingers!....They are huge!.....


Picture from 08/27/2017....







*****Updates will keep coming!*****

So what happened? How did the French Red turn out? Did the AeAe bloom? I feel like I just watched a season of a TV show and they nevered aired the finally.

*****Season Continuation!*****



What!......TV Nana show season finally?......Woohoo!......I would say TV Nana show season continuation, chapter 2 it's coming!......LOL!.....



I lost 9 hanging Nana bunches last year, including AEAE (Manini) and French Red in those 9, because of monster hurricane Irma!......They were very good size bunches!....



But I got a very good news!.....The Beautiful, Royal And Majestic AEAE and French Red second crop are growing nicely!.....They are growing faster than the first crop!.....If they keep the growing rate/pace, they should be flowering, blooming this season, year!.....I won't post any further pictures until flowering, blooming and harvesting time comes!.....



All pictures from 06/09/2018.....My apologies for the pictures, but has been raining banana nectar all day!.....




The Beautiful, Royal And Majestic AEAE!.....Beautiful, Royal And Majestic 'Ae Ae' Is Flowering!












The Beautiful, Royal And Majestic Monster Platano French Red!.....











*****An Update it's coming at flowering, blooming and harvesting time!******
