Musa sp. Seminole -At last, an edible relatively cold-tolerant banana. A banana like no other. Named after the Seminole Indians of Florida. Seminole is a new offering from Stokes Tropicals. A sturdy plant growing from 8-12 feet tall with a 10-12’’ diameter trunk base. Produces a huge flower spike up to 7’ long. Has 6-12 hands of giant bananas. Individual bananas average 7-10 inches, are 2-3 inches in diameter, 7-8 inches in circumference, and weigh ½ -1 lb each. Golden yellow (sometimes pinkish) fruit tastes great and can be cooked like a plantain. Flowers and fruits all year. Plants have been tested in Florida and Louisiana. Further test growing presently ongoing in Puerto Rico. Excellent for making maduros (which is sweet cooked plantain). Was originally $250.00.

Only 144 are being offered at the present time. We feel the new banana could have significant potential in the U.S. domestic commercial market (southern California, southern Texas, southern Florida).You can be the first in your area to have this great tasting, big fruited, cold tolerant banana and nematode resistant.
