Re: If you could only keep one banana plant
Out of the few that I have - the tall Orinoco stands way above the others in terms of flavour, ease of growing, amount of fruit, - just outstanding in all aspects. If you are growing for fruit for flavour - my order would be
Tall Orinoco Tall Red Blue Java/Ice Cream Dwarf Cavendish but I have to say that the tiny fruits from the 1000 fingers are outstanding in flavour - like apple and peach - but too small to be commercially viable in any way |

Re: If you could only keep one banana plant
Bob, (Hi, for starters), I like your logic. A little fruity but, hey, what are bananas for
 ! However, that velutina in Little Rock sounds great and that's right next door. I'd keep the velutina, if I had one. Unfortunately all I have is a Blue Java so, maybe next time. |

Re: If you could only keep one banana plant
I'd have to keep the Manzano, nothing I've tried tastes as good. Besides, you could always go to the supermarket and get the standard Cavendish bananas.
