Hmm, I didn't know that better pollination (by hand) would yield larger fruits. Couple years ago, I was so excited to see the 1st flowers, and did the night pollination thing religiously. This time, there were so many flowers, I just said what the heck, let nature take its course. I'm not gonna pollinate every single one of these flowers, there were many more that didn't set fruits. Oh well, they tasted good, big or small.
BTW Tony, how does Dwarf Orinoco taste compared to Misi Luki and Blue Java? Sweeter? How's the consistency? My D.O. seems to take forever to ripen. It's interesting to see the triangular shape of these bananas, viewed from the ends. I recently harvested Misi Luki and Blue Java, excellent, and of course much better than the bland bananas in supermarkets.
