The Stellar Musa Tu’u Ghia.....

















Musa Monthan 13 hands bunch, second generation crop.....
















Musa Gran Nain (Cavendish Subgroup) first bunch!.....I de-flowered the Nana fingers!.....Persistent male flowers and bracts for a messy/dirty look of the flower!....No doubts it’s Musa Grain Nain!....





















FHIA-3 Sweetheart 12 hands bunch!.....It's going to be heavy!....














From left to right: Musa Dwarf Chamaluco, Musa Matoke/Matooke (EAHB) East African Highland Banana, Musa Maoli Dwarf Kaualau and Musa Virupakshi (Hill Banana)......They all keep growing nicely and fast now!....Someone said I was running out of space!....LOL!.........Look at the background!.....Woohoooo!....Plenty of space for more Nanas!....














Yeeeeehaaaa!.....Surprise, surprise!.....Finally!......Paggi (Gros Michel Subgroup) is flowering for the first time!....Seems Pre-flag leaf is out!....Paggi is approx. 11 1/2 to 12 ft. tall!....Somebody told me that Paggi doesn't grow tall!.....LOL!...

Looks like it's going to be a waste of time for anyone going on a banana expedition anywhere, as you have everything in your garden 😂😂 joking aside my friend, one can only marvel at the sheer collection you have.
