Default Re: Musa basjoo hybrids and Musa "Californica Gold"

Migael: All that youve said is true. There is still a debate what kind of banana it is and where it came from.
All I know and want is the result if this banana could tolerate cold. So far it is the coldest resistant variety I have although I don't own a Texas Star. I am satisfied with what I have.
The taste? It is not spectacularly the best.
To me if you taste a saba, you tasted a Calif. Gold.
And to me some claim that it can be eaten as a desert banana but I prefer it fried.
This banana is best to growfor places that are marginal and questionable place if you can grow a banana. It is not intended to grow on snowy states like a basjoo.
