No, that's the ae. The Maoli Pacific cooking bananas have a blunt shaped tip and the Florida is pointy.

These days he is so busy making money I can't get him to respond. Maybe this post might work. lol
Dan definitely did not get his Florida from PR Giants.

Post a photo of your mat and bunch and we'll see if you got the REAL Florida.

Yeah the Florida taste great, they're an excellent dessert banana. The ae is a great cooking banana and we eat them just about every day. Roasted, boiled, fried or steam they are one of my favorites.

You should have let me know you were looking for them, I would've sent you some for free.

Wow amazing

Anyone that can explain Dan's radiation 90 degree Pythagorean theorem in sufficient detail can have the free Variegated Florida and AE that would've been sent to Dan.

Yo PRG ----- I didn't word it quite right. By "the last time I got one from" I meant AeAe. The Florida shows up in nurseries here in S Fla now and then. And yes it has nice fruit.

Yo Bad ----- when you wrote "the last time I got one from"

it sure seemed like you meant Florida.

That's why I replied with

"Dan definitely did not get his Florida from PR Giants."

Had I realized this was what you meant by "the last time I got one from" I meant AeAe."

I would have replied with

"Dan definitely did not get his Ae Ae from PR Giants."


Stop the nonsense.
