Replies: 17 has anyone heard of or ordered from miamifruit Views: 6,602 Posted By mdouglas Re: has anyone heard of or ordered from miamifruit Was surprised to see the email alert about this thread. :08: I posted in this thread back in 2017, apparently.

Replies: 9 Just got my Gros Michel fruit order Views: 7,145 Posted By mdouglas Re: Just got my Gros Michel fruit order Here's the bottom line: Totally not worth the luxurious expense. While they taste slightly better than store-bought Cavendish bananas, they're much smaller. If I ever get a chance to buy them from...

I've been waiting for many years to get one, finally ended up splurging and buying a box. I ordered them online from Miami Fruit. Yes, these are from Florida. I...

Replies: 9 Just got my Gros Michel fruit order Views: 7,145 Posted By mdouglas Just got my Gros Michel fruit order I ordered a box of Gros Michel fruit online a few weeks ago and just received it. I'm a bit underwhelmed by the size of the fruit, I expected them to be larger or at least 'plumper' than the regular...

Replies: 3 Banana ID and advice Views: 1,284 Posted By mdouglas Re: Banana ID and advice This is mostly true. You're quite the detective! The soil is almost completely sand. I thought perhaps fertilizing would compensate for the lack of actual "dirt", but perhaps not. I could mulch...

Replies: 10 WANTED: Gros Michel and Mysore banana fruit - not plants Views: 3,880 Posted By mdouglas Re: WANTED: Gros Michel and Mysore banana fruit - not plants Mostly because I'm curious about the taste, but also too impatient to wait 18 months to grow one. :ha: If I like it I would consider planting one or two in the spring. I have an unknown banana now...

Replies: 10 WANTED: Gros Michel and Mysore banana fruit - not plants Views: 3,880 Posted By mdouglas Re: WANTED: Gros Michel and Mysore banana fruit - not plants They are $100 per box. That's not "a little expensive" that's "astronomically expensive". :ha: And they're not immediately available, you have to pre-order to be put on a list. That's an expensive...
