lots of fruit
We have had a lot of rain in December and with the overcast the bananas are not happy. But there is a lot of fruit - 3 on the tall Orinocos, 1 on the orphan plantain from the lagoon, the first Manzano bunch just ripening, a huge bunch on the Blue Java and several other plants looking suspiciously big and fat in the trunk. After all the Dwarf Cavendish, Orinoco and Tall Red fruit that we had this autumn, the gardeners check the plants very carefully as they know they get the excess - plus they are intrigued by the different varieties not normally seen here. I suspect that their gift of a dc type (guineo normal) was to soften me up for a pup of something more special from Jarred! Oh! I am so cynical! Haha!!
