Oh! no!!! But nevermind, I don't have room in my yard for a 20 foot monster (lol). Which one is hardier, Hawaiin apple or Manzano? I am settling for a Balbisiana for its leaves and heart (flower). Benny

Re: Hawaiian Apple thinning and harvest
There will be plenty more where those came from, it's kinda like mowing the grass! I haven't seen any difference in hardiness between the two.
It's been said the flower bud from Balbisania is a good one for eating. |

Thanks! So I have a manzano growing. I like its taste. When we were in Hawaii it appeared that all they sell was the Hawaiian apple banana on the road stand. That's right. My wife constantly bugging me for a flower when I have just one flower to show. And I've got one now but she has not seen it yet. Here's one a Raja Puri which is starting to come out of its shell 8 31 09 Is the flower of RP good to eat?

Re: Hawaiian Apple thinning and harvest
I don't know about the Raja Puri flower, but Chong might. He has said that some of the flowers are just too astringent to eat.

Re: Hawaiian Apple thinning and harvest
Speaking of eating flowers I saw banana flowers at a local grocery store.

Re: Hawaiian Apple thinning and harvest
Bob, that seems like a good idea, until you realize that they're just gonna grow back up in the compost pile and he'd have to fight them there. That's actually how I got my first naners....a corm was chopped into pieces and thrown in a compost pile and grew into 7 plants.
