Default Re: What banana do I get next?

I say FHIA-01 Goldfinger or SH3640 for the 10’ one. Both amazing growers and reliable fruiters. If you like the Brazillian type taste like me you will love them!

For the tall I would say Praying Hands. Very cold hardy and taste is amazing. If you like vanilla ice cream you will love the taste! They get 13-15’ here.

2nd choice for the 10’ I would say a Mysore type like a Pisang Ceylon. It’s the improved one Richard suggested! They grow great! Basically it has better disease resistance than standard Mysore. It’s still not immune!

2nd choice for the tall. There is tall namwa. I like the taste! Others don’t. Cold hardy also! They make insanely huge bunches and are crazy productive! Very sweet!

More options: (hard to find/rare) etc.
-For the dwarf Musa Patupi (aka Kokomo) it is from PNG! A “short cycle” plant. Only gets 8’ or so and produces my #1 favorite tasting banana!!

-Musa iholena Tigua. They are fast producers! Taste amazing and get 13’ or so.

-Maybe for the tall a real blue java. They taste great and are very cold hardy.

I can think of lots more! Don’t ask me to choose! I can’t!!! Could be why I grow 100+ varieties lmao.
