Re: 2016 fruit pictures

We are doing great. I believe all the plants I got from you were ornamentals.





It's the ebay "ice cream" which is probably Namwah.

Some folks find it easier to start with corms, but tissue cultures are not that difficult and it usually takes less than 3 weeks to acclimate them to full sun. I wouldn't worry about the pot size, I...

Re: Hua Moa

Look at the size of that thing! Fourty eight days from a topped corm. The spacing between petioles along the pstem shows how fast it is growing. The first bunch should be amazing too!

Re: Using Hua Moa to Make Tostones

I cook them when they have some yellow on the skin. Just slice them and steam, then add a little salt. Delicious and fat free!

Sounds like they are very similar to ARH's, which are less dense than the normal store bought platano.
Everyone tells me that they prefer them because they fry quicker and are more crispy.
