Gabe sent me those pictures with the plant that he gave me. I did not take pictures of my first bunch because they did not get to that size. They were the size of Cavs. The bunch that I have now is different. It will probably be more like that Mshale picture. Much longer fingers than the first bunch. I donʻt have Mulalu but I would not be surprised if they also ripened green. They are really closely related. The ripened green nanas actually surprised me. I had been waiting for about 4 months, and the fingers were getting plump… I started to see a few bananas splitting while still green. I thought it was a disease or something so I text Gabe. He said that they were ready to eat. They did not seem all that acidic to me but I had a bunch of Manzano that ripened at the same time, and the Manzanoʻs apple twang might have made me think that the Mshale was not all that acidic or tart. Canʻt wait for a second try.
