Re: Kandarian Flower Update

I just got my pup from Leo - he's only about 20 miles south of me. Didn't see his Kandarian flowering and I think he said it hasn't flowered yet. In any case, I was curious if it was more of a raw...

Re: Kandarian Flower Update

I just got a Kandarian and looking forward to seeing it grow and fruit. Is it supposed to be a cooking banana or to eat raw or both?

Re: Dwarf Brazilian vs Tall Brazilian

The "Brazilian" currently being sold by Going Bananas (2019) in South Florida is definitely a Dwarf Brazilian. A friend of mine bought one from them and it flowers at about 7 ft with persistent male...

Re: What is your favotrite banana?

If we are going with the title of this thread, my "favotrite" banana (one that is lacking originality or freshness) would be Dwarf Cavendish.

If we are talking about our "favorite" banana, that's...

Funky cores of Praying Hands

I had this bunch of Praying Hands bananas that stayed on the plant for at least 9 months before I harvested them. They never turned yellow, but filled out reasonably well. After they began turning...

Re: SH-3640 - Jan 24, 2016

That's interesting, Keith. So, you're saying most people in PR (whether locals or tourists) prefer the taste of Cavendish over other bananas and you actually give away the other banana varieties for...

Re: SH-3640 - Jan 24, 2016

Keith, on a previous thread, you stated that SH 3640 is "not up to the quality of a store bought Cavendish". What exactly do you mean by that? I'm assuming you are referring to typical...

Re: ID plantains

Thanks, everyone - I suspected Orinoco, but have never had it so wasn't sure. For a banana that is not a true plantain, it sure looks like one (except I guess it's shorter than most plantain fruit)....

I cut off a bunch of plantains from a plant growing near my lake. The plant flowered at about 12-15ft high. The bananas are about 6 inches long, 1 3/4" wide on one side, and 2 1/4" wide on the...
