Re: Musa French Red
 

Yup definitely agree. Now just need to find some way to get one ;-)

Re: Musa French Red
 

Hello PR;

How are the FR Doing ?, Any Pups For Sale ?
Thanks Ed

Re: Musa French Red
 

They're doing great but we're probably not going to be distributing any this year.

We'll be needing all the pups to cover the area that was set aside for the FHIA-21.

The FHIA-21 is a great backyard banana but not good enough for market sales here.

Re: Musa French Red
 

Please let me know when one becomes available even a water-Sucker :08:
Ed

Re: Musa French Red

Re: Musa French Red

Re: Musa French Red
 

Those Platanos are huge almost look like the Rhino's !, Man cant wait for my FR to Mature !, Its Mofongo Time !:08:..

Ed

Re: Musa French Red
 

I was certainly impressed by the size of the bunch, but the inflorescence was incredibly tiny as it emerged. I didn't take or want any photos.

Ed, is this your first French-type and have you grown other types?

Re: Musa French Red
 

I wonder how cold tolerant it is? I have found that French plantains reward you if you manage the bunch, but are not marketable if you don't.

Re: Musa French Red
 

I tried growing ARH and PR Dwarf but for some reason they didn't do to well up here, I also remember planting a F-21 that i picked up at a Nursery somewhere in FL cant remember, I think i planted it in winter didn't do good , But the F-21 that i got from you have lots of Vigor also the French Red Is in the lead in its growth !..

I will be putting these Plantains to the test, will have to be next winter right now they are too young and they will go inside the Green house for this 2015 winter and planted in the spring of 2016, Just observing there vigor i have a good feeling about these plants i think i will be successful harvesting Plantains !

Re: Musa French Red
 

Wow, this red banana is gorgeous. That makes me to want it but after I get the Ae Ae first. :drum:

Re: Musa French Red
 

The real reward with French-type plantains, which Horns & False-horns plantains don't have, is the super-sized ratoon crop. Proper plant management makes the ratoon even more impressive. :lurk:



Which French-type or types have you tried to grow?

Re: Musa French Red
 

It looks like the plant from Little Shop of Horrors. FEED ME!

Re: Musa French Red
 

Its A Majestic Plant !:08:..

Ed

Re: Musa French Red
 

And Royal.:08:

The bunches are giant and fingers super long, it could've been named the

Royal Majestic French Red Giant Super Platano.

First hand 8 inch fingers
Fifth hand 7.5 inch fingers

Re: Musa French Red
 

Monster Platanos !:08:

Re: Musa French Red

Re: Musa French Red
 

I've been very pleased with how this plantain has been growing. The fruit length about a week ago was more than a third of a meter.
