trikus says... Was amazed to read that the market for 'exotic' bananas is $15 - 20 million p/a mainly Red Dacca & Ladyfinger . I know a few people now planting Ducasse , its very tasty as is Blue Java . Very little info on most of the names given , but I bet they will taste pretty good . FHAI-2 or 'Mona Lisa I am eating now are very good . | About the Author Trikus Tully 20th July 2010 8:22am #UserID: 930 Posts: 749 View All Trikus's Edible Fruit Trees |

trikus says... Pisang Ceylon had a very good tangy flavour , almost indistinguishable from Mona lisa , but a much different look . Where Mona Lisa is a very large cavendish shape , the ceylon is a much smaller fatter sugar / Ladyfinger shape . pics here are , red back pink rib ceylon foliage at about 6 months after planting , cow broke into block and ate down a few times . box with big bluggoe plantains and Blue Java , and one hands worth of ceylon. I had so much fruit I took some into town on market day and offered taste tests to people walking the street , sold a few other fruits as well .

trikus says... 5 types nearly ready to eat , just picked Blue Java so not pictured .from left . Pisang Kering then Ducasse , Pisang Ceylon , Mona Lisa .. mate gave me a few of the Khai Bonng , and they were a bit tasteless , seems they are a very fast ripener , only 6 weeks from bell emergence to picking , another I tasted recently also was a very old cv. Santa Catarina Prata it was used in the breeding of Gold Finger , and is a very robust thick trunked type that withstands cyclones very well .

BJ says... I've never really harvested bananas before and wanted to ask if these look ripe? They are on my Dwarf Ducasse and fruit are held between 5-6ft high. i need to thin the clump a bit, but these seem to do quite well even with competition from its own suckers and a nearby crepe myrtle. blue java behind these does not do well with competition and gives poorly filled out bunches in less than ideal situations.

VF says... Laisla, I'm sitting here munching on a Lady Finger and a Gold Finger to compare - flavour very much the same, perhaps GF slightly creamier. GF much bigger though, maybe too big for some. (I buy from local grower.) From memory, I think when I last saw at shops they were a bit pricey, so that and being too big(?) may have been their downfall. | About the Author VF Wongawallan 20th December 2012 4:18pm #UserID: 6795 Posts: 736 View All VF's Edible Fruit Trees |
