Hey Jose
Most of my Bananas are of the taller cultivar. The tallest being Saba, althought they are a plantain and I had 2 bunches that did'nt have enough time to ripen last year. They are quite spectacular to see. If you are over this way just pm me and drop by for a dig, I have Goldfinger, Orinoco, Ice Cream. Darkman and his wife dropped by last month and he dug a few naners. These all do well but are slow to fruit when we have such cold winters like the past one because I had to cut them down to the ground. If we get a mild winter and no storms I will have a bunch of fruit. My Raja Puri did well in the cold because it was short enough to put garbage bags filled with leaves around the psudostem all the way to the main leaves. When I removed the bags in spring the stem was still nice and green, it has pupped all summer. Thanks
Bo
