Last year I bought two at of all places, Lowes and some banana lovers said the fruit is not edible, others opined that it is. Well after a MADDENINGLY L-O-N-G wait to sample the fruit, one was kinda sorta ripe and I ate it today.

I've had unripe bananas before and they are not edible, patience and waiting for them to ripen is paid in dividends.

I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. The fruit was creamy and surprisingly sweet. I can't wait for it to give me the rest of the bunch fully ripened!

One down side is it's a LOT more aggressive of a grower and pups with MANY new stems. NP, I'll give them to friends and neighbors. The leaves are VERY attractive, I may use them as landscape specimens now.

Does anyone else have a ZR fruiting?
