18 years ago

This is a Banana Research Station variety. They are about 6"-7" long and very delicious!

Very Nice! How would you describe the flavor? Is it on the sweet acid side (like Goldfinger)? I'm afraid my SH3640 will probably not bloom and fill out before the cold gets here this year. Nice looking fruit.

Enjoy!

The skin is not as thin as say Brazilian, but not too thick either. They are on the sweet acidic side similar to Goldfinger. The fruit developed faster than any other banana that I have grown.

Hi Jeff,
Is this banana putting out any pups. I am considering getting one soon. If you don't mind my asking, where did you get yours?
Thanks,
Scot
