I'm not familiar with an oage tree but if it's similar to a Charlie Brown Christmas tree you should be fine. This cultivar produces phenomenal fruit and of all the short cycle diploids I grow this is the best tasting plus it's fruiting cycle is only about 3 weeks in the tropics. It is however sensitive to sunlight and if it doesn't get enough it grows slowly and can produce very small bunches or even bunches of entirely male fingers. I've learned to be mindful of what I plant next to them if it's a triploid or tetraploid I'll increase the spacing to assure they get adequate sunlight. I think once the all-green version of this plant gets in the hands of more growers it's popularity will skyrocket.
Finally an extreme short cycle true dessert banana.
OK, I'll try to make some available ASAP.
