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: Fhia-2 young plant
The coloring on the FHIA-02 looks amazing and sounds like it tastes good, but I keep hearing reports that it's slow growing. I have FHIA-03 and hope to soon have FHIA-01 so I'm wondering if it's...

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.

Re: RED bananas
Thanks, Mark - good comparison. That's one of the reasons I got rid of D. Cavendish in my yard a few years ago - it was the least cold tolerant out of any of my bananas. Seems that it got severely...
