Default Re: Bananas for sale in San Diego

I'm in University City.

I've found that Mona Lisa is the fastest to flower, followed by Goldfinger. The fruit on Goldfinger seems to mature faster than any other variety I've tried. And both Mona Lisa and Goldfinger can have a LOT of fruit at once. Dwarf Namwah is also a consistent fruiter, the fruit is a little less tangy than the others, it's my wife's favorite.

My favorite fruit is Manzano, which also bears consistently, but just a bit slower than the ones above. Ice Cream can have unbelievably good fruit (better than Manzano even), but we've only had really good fruit on Ice Cream once, and the other times it's only average.

Of the varieties listed, White Iholena seems to be a bit more tender than the others. Williams and Double Mahoi are the shortest. Brazillian is the tallest, and the fruit is usually the smallest.
