Fruitylicious1 says... Hi Trikus Yes you are right. Plantain (Saba) is very popular in the Philippines because of its versatility in the kitchen. When I was growing up in the P.I. we have a lot of Saba clumps in our back garden. We use to make them into desserts, cakes or just plain boiled as a snack or even eaten fresh when it's ripe. And it is even a vital ingredient in some of the main dishes in the Philippines. Even the plantain banana blossom is treated as a vegetable in cooking. Yes, it's obviously more versatile than the ubiquitous Cavendish here in OZ. But, then again it's an acquired taste. Who knows you might learn to like it. As Always....Happy gardening :-) | About the Author Fruitylicious1 TAMWORTH,2340,NSW 24th April 2018 12:58pm #UserID: 16885 Posts: 709 View All Fruitylicious1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Trikus says... I have developed a real taste for plantains now and have 5 different cvs. Worst possible time for planting suckers now .. try El Arish Exotics in a few months when it warms up .. http://www.elarishtropicalexotics.com/ | About the Author Trikus Tully 26th April 2018 7:39am #UserID: 930 Posts: 749 View All Trikus's Edible Fruit Trees |

Fruitylicious1 says... Hi Trikus I've been missing the Philippines plantain banana. We just buy the imported frozen ones if we feel the cravings for it which is of course we'll below our standard. Anyway, besides El Arish nursery where did you score your saba banana? Hoping that you'll share with us your source.

mcmelb1 says... Hey Fruitylicious1, Backyard Bananas gets this plant sometimes. It's currently out of stock but it had a "e;e;back order"e;e; status only a month ago, and i made a reservation. The person there told me that they changed the status because they are unsure when propagation material will become available to them from the lab. Anyway, they micropropagate from certified tissue culture, and can send interstate, so maybe send them an email and they can put you on the waiting list: http://backyardbananas.com.au/product/saba-backyard-banana-plant/ Cheers | About the Author mc1 SOUTH YARRA,3141,VIC 12th June 2018 10:48am #UserID: 14853 Posts: 62 View All mc1's Edible Fruit Trees |
