Default Re: Virupakshi/Indian Hill Banana

Hi Ty.

Yeah, this is the one you sent me in trade for the Mystery Plant Smeash is trying to get identified on another thread. It took a couple years to get the timing down on the flower while dodging a couple a tropical storms/hurricanes to get a mature bunch.

I have not tried Dwarf Brazilian but I didn't detect any "apple" or other fruit flavor in my Virupakshi. I have had a Raja Puri and I would say the Virupakshi was in between RP and Namwa for sweetness but without any fruit taste. Flesh texture, density, and color was excellent. The plant itself is not very attractive being thin, weak and prone to collapse in my patch.
