Musa 'Golden Fingers'

Now I am envious, having your very own bananas!! and lots of them too.

DD2:

This is nothing. I have a huge bunch of Ice Cream bananas almost ready to ripen in the front yard. The bunch probably weighs 80 lbs. (36 kg).

Now your bragging lol

No, not bragging...this is just typical for here in San Diego. Some people have much larger bunches of bananas than me. :>)

I was jesting lol I wonder if your home grown bananas have a different flavour from the ones we buy over here....

Yes, home-grown bananas are typically a lot sweeter than store bought bananas.

I will never know unfortunately........I am growing a Musella lasiocarpa Chinese lotus banana, but although it flowers we will not have the bananas.

I am familiar with Musella lasiocarpa. It's a very nice ornamental.

Oh good at the moment it is only a foot high.....

It doesn't grow very tall; from what I remember.

Here's a pic I took of one growing outside in Balboa Park.
