| Hi Everyone- I have a few types of banana plants growing here. Some that taste like the kind from the store and some Manzana bananas that taste appley.
I know there are lots of other varieties- I really want to know if they taste different. I guess what I am asking- Is it worth my while to get a bunch of other types of bananas? I don't really need them for "the tropical look" since I have that naturally. I grow them for the fruit or in special cases (AE-AE) the variegation. I would appreciate your opinion if there are any other types that taste great or different and are a "must" for banana lovers- Gwenn |

| Absolutely YES! You need Misi Luki, a Namwah, Monthan, Praying Hands, Goldfinger, Mysore, Lakatan, Pisang Ceylon, and more. |

| Thing is, where do I get ice cream bananas? Not the plant, but rather the banana itself? |
