Default Re: If you could only keep one banana plant

Out of the few that I have - the tall Orinoco stands way above the others in terms of flavour, ease of growing, amount of fruit, - just outstanding in all aspects. If you are growing for fruit for flavour - my order would be
Tall Orinoco
Tall Red
Blue Java/Ice Cream
Dwarf Cavendish

but I have to say that the tiny fruits from the 1000 fingers are outstanding in flavour - like apple and peach - but too small to be commercially viable in any way
