[keeps moving it around]
got my first taste of praying hands bananas. finished at the end of November almost exactly 6 months. half again what you got, but there were a total of 33 bananas. maybe next year I will see more rain.
a really thick, heavy, creamy banana, I could see my teeth marks in the banana as I ate it. I ate the first one yellow. the center of the banana was finished with no stick in the middle like others do but...…..
 tasted like vanilla extract, BLECH. not to be eated YELLOW!!!!!
the raja puri were nice tasting, rather like pealing berries. pretty much the same taste as the cavendish. and 6 months of watching and waiting.
heres to a better next year.

Master Beam,
Really thank you for sending the awesome Dwarf Red’s!.....I appreciate it buddy!....Once she opens 4-5 leaves, Dwarf Red will be transplant it to the ground!....Hopefully she grows awesome for me!....
I’m glad that you tasted Musa Praying Hands too!....Wooohoooo!.....You also confirmed in the vanilla taste/flavor!.....I told you!....I sent some Musa Praying Hands to my bro Ty in Texas recently!....Ty was in shock!....He couldn’t believe the creamy vanillla taste of Praying Hands!....I was visiting Going Bananas in Homestead, Florida, when I first tasted Praying Hands years ago!.....As my bro Ty, I was in shock too!....Instantly Praying Hands became one of my favorite Nana Varieties!....I definitely had to grow it!....
