I have read good things about 17, but ones on here don't seem too impressed. Hmm?
I found a site talking about taste testing in Africa somewhere among locals and it scored high. Almost 18 months.. Mid length on time. It would likely take longer here in central Florida.

Varieties I supposedly bought: Manzano, Cavendish, Blue Java, Sweetheart, and Gros Michel.
What it seems I actually have: Brazilian, Cavendish, Namwah, Dwarf Red, Gros Michel, Pisang Ceylon, Veinte Cohol and SH 3640, and American Goldfinger. FHIA 1, Paggi and FHIA 17... Always room for one more.
