Musa 'Mysore' - Mysore Bananas


Musa 'Mysore' - Mysore Bananas (Musa 'Mysore' - Mysore Bananas)

My Mysore plant is putting out hands of bananas. This ladyfinger banana is my favorite. Each hand (which is pictured) will have around 18 bananas...and this variety usually produces 12 - 14 hands...which makes it a very productive banana. This very sweet variety of banana is extremely popular in India, where it's native...and commercially grown. Photo taken July 9, 2010.
