Default Re: Question

I would guess that non-cultured bananas have much smaller harvests. They are also in an area where they are generally not threatened by the coming winter frost. For us "out of area" growers, we need things to happen fast. In a bit more predictable manner.
I believe in the tropics things such as atmospheric nitrogen play a big part in how things growas well. Maybe someone with a more scientific background with post in.
