Re: cool hardy sucrier types
That's amazingly fast! Park Lake is a little north and west from my island and it's usually a bit warmer here so I might get that to put even faster! I'd love to get my hands on a Rose

But I guess I just prefer bananas with more sub-acid flavor.The Senorita also took a bit longer to produce and ripen it's fruit than is reported in the tropics.. I'm also growing the Rose, and just as Gabe said, they are vigorous and produce fast! Can't tell ya what they taste like yet, this will be the first harvest.
The first picture is from May 30th.
Rose
This is 2 mo. later, now the pup from the first picture has a flower, and this bunch is about twice that size. |
