Re: Sweetheart - Months to Flower and Harvest
Where I am in Hawaii, I recently had 2 on the same mat fruit one month apart. One took a few days over 4 months, the other a few days over 5 months. Was surprised by the 4 monther.

Re: Sweetheart - Months to Flower and Harvest
As I have said many times on here! Fhia 03 sweetheart. The real one! Is one of the fastest fruiting Musa I grow! Filling still takes 3+ months though! I have harvested fruit in one season! I’m talking from an established corm in zone 8b! I would say 75% filled. They have a lemon taste and are ok. I’m just not crazy about them. I wish they were a bit sweeter!
Thanks Rob! 4 months is amazing! Sweetheart is a speed demon for sure!
