Default Re: My Mystery Busy Bee Banana

Brent, no positive I.D. on it but somewhere in some thread I can't find (or maybe PMs?) Mitchel guessed it might be tall Namwah and Gabe indicated he thought that was a pretty good guess. I'm hoping that Tony can get it to produce a mature bunch in his climate and get together with Jon on it to figure it out. They were great tasting bananas. I picked the bunch on 12/28 after there was already frost damage to the leaves and about 3-4 weeks later the fruit was ripening and had a nice flavor and texture, although they were small (maybe 4" long or so and 1.25" in diameter). There's a goofy photo of my in my gallery holding the bunch of ripe fruit.

Thanks,

Harvey
