Misi Luki, after the harvest - Page 3

momoese · 01-13-2010, 05:13 PM

I have had what one person called Golfinger and it was good so I grew some and they are the Dwarf Cavendish that I've been too lazy to remove. You should ask Gabe about Goldfinger sometime, he gave us a lecture about the name Goldfinger in the chat one night. I'll let him explain it to you so I don't botch his words.

Just harvested some Misi Luki (Green Mysore)

Saw this thought I would throw it out there.

That quote was concerning "Goldfinger"

Mysore/'Red Misi Luki' - India's main commercial banana, a medium size plant with moderately attractive purply-pinkish blushed stems. Good flavor in a favorable site, with a nice sugar acid balance. This banana demands the very warmest site if it is to fruit and have good quality. Not recommended, except for the most favorable warm and protected conditions. AAB.

I thought it was about this.

So the second bunch from this Namwah stand has much better flavor, why I don't know. The texture is still not my favorite but the flavor is very nice. Patty will have a chance to try them hopefully today.

Beautiful photos, whatever cultivar these are. When did you get the "flower", I'm just wondering how long it takes to harvest time.

It typically takes between 4-6 months once the first fruit appears before they can be harvested, depending upon which cultivar one is growing.

Here in So Cal it takes 6-7 months from bloom to ripe fruit.

I'll have to go back and check when my bananas bloomed. I am pretty sure I've got some that have taken 8 months or more.
