Default Re: 2019 Banana Patch: Pensacola, Florida

Just harvested my first big bunch from Son of Monster Namwa this morning. I was a bit worried about crashing onto the pool deck but I got it down under control. Sorry no video of that! This was a one man operation! Chopped the upper third of the pstem and then sorta eased it down while removing the support. Very heavy and confirmed by the scale at 78 lbs!!

I let the whole bunch mature. No pruning on this one. Took a total of four months in Pensacola, Florida. The top fingers are huge and twice as big as the bottom fingers in both length and thickness. Invividual fingers are all pretty plump but not nearly as plump as the small bunch I harvested earlier this year from a plant at my Mother's house which are shown above.

Today is cloudy with rain so not the best pics unfortunately.
