It's either the hardiest or one of the hardiest.

Cat 2 winds can't touch it.

Only the Morado is better.

Are FHAIs considered to be among the most delicious bananas? I didn't see any of the varieties I was growing on that list so I'm holding out hope that this miracle Verdin banana doesnt put mine too deeply to shame

FHIA bananas are developed with bunch size
being more important than flavor.

Hungry people are concern with food first,
and a discriminating palate later.

So the Veinte Cohol looks like a definite winner for me, cant beat a banana that fruits in five months. Now just to find out if it's been introduced to my country yet....

If I can't get my hands on any of those then the Mysore looks like a definite second; that bunch in the picture was huge. Thanks for the help!

This Musa Verdin appears to have alot of red in the color - that is normally a red flag for those looking for cold hardy - please correct me if I am wrong in thinking that reds are less cold hardy. Zone 8b-9a.
16ft pstem is not easy to winterize.
Thanks again..
