I'm desiring to compile a list of banana varieties that produce extra large to large fruit. Could anybody help me out? Could you mention the:

1.) variety
2.) size of fruit (inches)
3.) number of fingers
4.) number of hands

Thank you all so much!

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."

In addition to differences among varieties, parts 2-4 also depend on climate and growing conditions, so information from people growing bananas near you will probably be most representative of what you can expect.

The one I grow that makes the largest fruit in my yard is Monthan.

1. Monthan
2. 6-8" but very fat, averaging 300 g per fruit.
3. Around 100
4. Around 10

Large as in weight or length?
Hua Moa are 5 to 9 inches in length and can weigh more than a pound. Usually you have a 25 lbs bunch with 25-35 fingers. It is often considered more of a plantain but I sell tons of it to people who eat them ripe and raw

FHIA 17 are usually 7-9+ inches in length and larger fruit approach 200g. Bunches are large with 10+ hands being normal. 150 fingers on a 50 lbs bunch would be standard

From studies I've read, the Fhia-02 outperforms the Fhia-17 in the subtropics.

Which subtropics?

I did a quick review and I see in Brazil it did better than FHIA-17, but in South Africa it did much worse.
