Re: Orinoco bunch
Interesting! I had 2 bunches ripen recently totalling 90lbs in all. The tall orinoco had about 12 fingers per hand and about 7 hands, so about 80 HUGE fruit per bunch. Each finger was so big that a person could barely eat a whole one themselves. They ripened on the plant and they were delicious but only when ripe to the point of being soft and puddingy! Even black skin has good edible fruit inside. The dwarf orinoco also had about 12 fingers per hand and I cut it down before it ripened on the plant because of one or other of the recent storms. These also were delicious but only when REALLY ripe. Momese, perhaps the not great taste was because you ate them too soon? Just a thought!
