The result is that they have about the same cycle length in my climate.
Anyone know the quality and flavor of Patupi compared to Gros Michel?
Closer to Gros Michel than Cavendish? Or is Cavendish closer?
I am trying to figure out my best cultivars to be able to plan timing so that I can grow indoors over winter while plant is under 5 feet or so, and take outdoors in June and have flowering/fruiting in June-August, when temps are usually 80-90 and humid. I would love to try some sort of Gros Michel, but need to know what options are most realistic for me.
