Capt.,
I grew the Fhia 17 which is the cavendish type of this variety last year.The bunch was good sized and they taste WAY better than the standard williams and other cavendish types in my opinion.This may vary in different soil conditions,nutrients etc.... A Very vigorous,disease resistant plant and did excellent in cold weather.I have seen the other cavendish types fall victim to the cold fairly easy.Good luck in your search!
