• Taste Description - sweet med texture similar to the Grand Nain

• Personal Notes - The bracts are very colorful (multi colors) and showy, they curl a bit as well, its a wonderful sight.

And the fruits were great consistency, nice color change from green to yellow, peel thickness was thicker than Kru but less than RajaPuri, fruit texture was a bit firm, color I think I recall was golden yellow, maybe slightly orange, aroma was fruity and delicious, very very excellent flavor. All wonderful marks across the board. Yield was medium-high as well. When they ripened here, they did not have long of a shelf life, so enjoy them when they are good. The pseudostem height to where the leaves started was about 5' or 6' feet, with the leaf straight up, maybe 9' total or so. MediaHound 00:17, 17 May 2008 (EDT)
