Re: What did you harvest today (bananas)
Thanks to Rob for keeping this thread alive. Here are a couple bunches that I harvested last month -- nothing this month except a couple of blowdowns that weren't close to filled.
Dwarf Brazilian, 37 lb., 116 fingers: "Brazilian" (tall Pome purchased as Manzano, might be Brazilian, or perhaps some other Pome variety): 19 lb., 75 fingers: The difference in bunch size between the tall Pome varieties (I have three, none obtained as Pome varieties, all misidentified) and Dwarf Brazilian (a dwarfed Pome variety) is pretty consistent in my yard. Dwarf Brazilian makes bigger bunches for me, for whatever reason. The flavor is indistinguishable to me and everyone I've given them to. DB plants in my yard average about 9' of p-stem, whereas the tall varieties average about 16'. The tall ones sometimes get blown down, the DB p-stems never have. |

Do you have a taste report on the kapua? Did you happen to try it ripe out of hand?

They have a tangy apple banana taste to them, but a starchy, pasty kind of texture to them which doesn't make them too appealing out of hand. I've had 4 types of Iholena recently from my yard and they all taste pretty much the same to me, though my friend can detect some differences. Cooked with a little salt on them they are really an excellent, flavorful cooking banana. They don't exactly hold up well to cooking though. Even slightly ripe they'll turn to mush when cooked, which does not happen with the other Mai'a types--maoli or popoulu. |
