Re: Raja Puri Blooming?
Hammocked, those pics are a little deceiving. The Rajapuri is sitting on a pretty high hill. It's not really as tall as the garage it's next to.

Re: Raja Puri Blooming?
....and they're finally ripe. Wow, that took a long time (9 months from appearance of bloom to ripe). Is that fairly normal?
As for the taste, I must say it's very similar to the DB/"Apple Bananas" I've purchased when in Hawaii. Was expecting to be disappointed, but I gotta say I like 'em. |

Did you take a photo of the bunch? How many hands, fingers and how heavy was it? And why were you expecting to be disappointed? I have not seen any negative taste reports about Raja Puri yet I think it seems OK for a fruit bunch to fill in and ripen in 9+ month here in Soutnern California over the winter. I am still waiting for my Ice Cream to show some signs of yellow. First hand also appeared in September 2013.. Last edited by crazy banana : 06-15-2014 at 10:37 PM. |

Re: Raja Puri Blooming?
Thanks for the info, CB. Good to know others have similar experiences here.
I didn't take a pic of the bunch...I believe it put out 7 hands, but didn't get a count of fingers prior to commencement of piehole stuffing. I'll try to get some pics posted, but the weight wasn't very impressive. Due to lack of diligent fertilizing, I don't think they filled out as much as they could have. I saw some reports about pithy/corky centers, and was somewhat prepared for the worst. Thankfully I was wrong. |
