Banana variety
« on: September 28, 2020, 10:02:05 PM »
Hello members,

I have gotten some banana varieties and was wondering if anyone had recommendations for varieties that they are growing.  I am after fresh eating varieties, so if anyone has any recommendations it would be greatly appreciated.

Nam Wah, Sweetheart, and Pisang Ceylon are great tasting.  Pisang Celon produces pups like crazy and Sweetheart is hesitant to produce pups here in SW Florida.

Justin,

Have you gotten any bananas from your Ice Cream and/or Praying hands?   Just curious about the ripening time and taste of the varieties.
