Re: Fhia18?
Thanks! Yeah, it just hit 32 degrees in that part of the yard, so not a super hard freeze, but it was totally unaffected while other supposedly very cold hardy ones (including Dwarf Brazilian) lost...

Re: Fhia18?
Bump to add a quick taste report:

Fhia18?
Hi all, looking to get a confirmation on whether I've got an FHIA18 here. It seems to match many of the type's supposed characteristics but there aren't too many pictures that I've been able to find...

Re: Gros Michel fruiting in Central Florida
Absolutely, although I don't have any at the moment unfortunately. If you can't find someone on here with one you can check back with me in another month or so, I'll probably get one by then!

Re: Kokopo/Patupi flavor?
I just had my first bunch a couple months back. They are really good, probably my favorite that I've tried.
The flavor is subtle and complex. I noted at the time that across different fruits and...

Re: Bananas that can take frost that you can eat
Welcome! There are plenty of edible bananas that will do quite well. Just from my experience, Orinoco, Namwah, Brazilian, FHIA3, FHIA18, and SH3640 all handle cold nicely.
You will have to accept...

Re: Seedlings from a variegated A'ea'e bunch
I'm not too familiar with the process of growing bananas from seed. If the seedling survives to produce a bunch how often does a cross make seedless fruit?

Re: How do I expand my collection?
Dwarf Brazilian is a good all-rounder for Florida. Cold hardy, stout, fast grower, requires almost no maintenance, good flavor when nicely ripe.
Everyone who has tried Patupi seems to really love...
