Phil@Tyalgum starts with ... I tasted a bunch of bananas from a local fruit stall on the NSW/Qld border (Chillingham) labelled as "Kluay Khai" a Thai variety. Small but packed with flavour, the fruit is very thin skinned and the flesh is almost orange. Does anyone know if it is readily available? It's only a little bigger than a finger but probaby the nicest banana variety I've tasted so far.

M Nash says... watch this space Phil, I have a source, May be the same type, It is a miniature tree, same decrepit as you said. Only they added that it is a superior cooking banana. Only prob is the restrictions we have here on the border, Moving them around and stuff. got to keep the law. May be best to call me | About the Author MNash1 Terranora Northern NSW 7th September 2010 11:01pm #UserID: 2892 Posts: 292 View All MNash1's Edible Fruit Trees |

trikus says... Also known as Pisang Mas [ = gold ] Ladyfinger , or even Monkey Finger . Excellent taste and worth growing . There is a similar sized fruit with paler less sweet flesh on a much taller plant , Pisang Kering , though this name is also used for Pisang Ceylon . I have a bunch almost ready on Pisang Ceylon and am really looking foward to tasting it . | About the Author Trikus Tully 8th September 2010 6:40am #UserID: 930 Posts: 749 View All Trikus's Edible Fruit Trees |

speedy says... Yeah Phil, they're great aren't they. I had a small tissue-cultured plant that I got as 'Pisang Mas' about 15yrs ago when I was living up the road at Pumpenbil. It carked it in a bad frost though :-( They're also known as 'Sucrier' they're a diploid plant (AA) here's some handy info to cut through the confusion of banana names a bit. http://www.plantnames.unimelb.edu.au/Sorting/Musa.html Another favorite in Thailand worth getting is 'Kluay Nam Wa'. It's called for by name in many Thai recipes using banana. eg. 'Khao Thom Mat' or 'Kluay Buat Chee' it's known in Aust as 'Dwarf Ducasse'. | About the Author Nth Vic. 8th September 2010 9:43am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Cuong says... Does anyone know what babanas these might be? I am growing them, the plant itself are 3 to 3.5m tall. The photos are from my parents banana plants which I have got sucklings from. The fruit are shorter to what I have seen sold at the shops as lady finger, so not sure what I have got. Fruit itself is very thin skinned, very nice aromatic flavour and very dense texture.

sternus1 says... Kluay khai is always a prefix in thai for thai bananas. So for example, a variety would be called kluay khai theparot. In thailand the most popular bananas are pratabong (which have rather orange flesh) and can be used for fresh eating and cooking, as well as the ones which are slightly bulb shaped and have a name which translates into 'woman's breast'. s | About the Author sternus1 Australia 11th June 2014 6:58am #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Joachim says... glad to see this thread has resurrected as I've been checking out all these 'monkey banana topics. Bali friend tells me thay are called Pisang mas over there, and are the same little stubby 'nanas. I was in Sydney at Christmas and contacted the nursery in Fairfield that had been selling these suckers last year but no joy there. As with Linda, any leads would be much appreciated. My email is : fishriddle at hotmail dot com Thanks for all the info guys, Allan | About the Author Al south golden beach 11th June 2014 5:26pm #UserID: 1301 Posts: 51 View All Al's Edible Fruit Trees |

JohnMc1 says... Had to take this poor shot of a bunch while walking down a back alley in the middle of the night in Bali. I'm wondering if this is the cv I have, common name from what I can find, Musa Thousand Fingers Banana. The cv I have was sold to me as Thousand fingers banana but hasn't fruited. Whoops, pic didn't upload, here's another go...
