![]() This is my 'Pisang Jari Buaya' ('Crocadile Fingers'), I think I planted it near the end of 2008 (still can't find the data on the exact date...). It's been rather vigorous, lots of pups produced, a nice looking first bunch too. The next bunch shouldn't be too far behind.

![]() This is indeed a nice banana. I had commented in an earlier thread that the erect habit of the leaves is somewhat reminiscence of Fei.

![]() I've just found the data about when I planted it.
It was planted on September 20th 2008 and began flowering on September 10th 2009, 355 days. Hopefully they will be ready to harvest before I leave for winter break.

![]() It is good for here, but the fastest plants (of different varieties) have been flowering at about 7-8 months after planting.
