You're in WA state and grow Sabas? That's awesome. I love seeing more locals growing edible type bananas.

I don't have enough experience yet to name a true favorite, but so far really it's any unusual variety. Although Namwahs are the toughest out here in my experience, I love the anticipation of odd ones like Thousand Fingers, Praying Hands, etc. I hope to get to know the beauty and anticipation in Red Kru and Ae Ae as well.

Edited to add - Come the time, we'll see if maybe Velutina would be my favorite. It's a wildtype species, seeded, grows fast yet small, is very hardy, has amazing pink fruit, . . . I just have yet to figure if I like the taste.
