Re: Fruiting Ae Ae
A friend from Puerto Rico shared some dried long slices of Ae Ae fruit and it was very good. He doesn't particularly care for banana fruits but said he thought the Ae Ae was better than other bananas he had tried drying.

Re: Fruiting Ae Ae
The ripe ones I've eaten were OK, more starchy than a grocery store Cavendish and not quite as good. Cooking brings our their best. Cooked they are excellent, with great texture and flavor with a nice touch of acidity to balance the sweetness. (Thanks to BadPun for the Ae Ae fruits. )

Re: Fruiting Ae Ae
I'm pretty sure Ae-Ae was traditionally a cooking-type banana, though it can be eaten ripe as well.

Re: Fruiting Ae Ae
I fertilize my ae ae on the ground with home made compost and some dark topsoil. After few days I flooded it with water. Now the new leaves are coming out with more green. Very little white in it. They gray variegation blended with green, so it’s hard to see. What should I do to get the variegation back? Can I try ash or palm fertilizer?
