Re: Florida Variegated - Grow Location

The stalks are normally 8-9 feet, thin, but they hold the bunches well.
They don't yellow like most other variegated bananas; they stay a nice white with lime cream & green mixed in

Re: Trademarked or Patented Cultivars?

Hello.
Your best bet is to find local people, or people online who have fruited the verities you're looking for. Then go get suckers from them.

Re: Just got my Gros Michel fruit order

Another thing is that I don't think you're ever going to get the same flavor and quality as if they were allowed to get more plump & start to ripen on the tree.
Its the nature of having to ship them....

Re: PATUPI, beautiful bunch & tasting.

They are in the middle for sucker production. If you remove them they will pump out new ones just as fast, but otherwise they don't pour too much into suckering. There are ones that are far worse.

Re: Musa Pitu 2018 and lame comparison to Orinoco

It will just go down as a pitubluggoe in my books.

But I was very interested in the real Pitu. I'll have to keep the search on for it.

Re: Help with my Musa Florida Variegated

Your plant actually looks healthy.

The mutation has a problem with forming weak spots on the leaf and stalk
