Lovely big bunch on our Lady Finger Bananas (Musa acuminata × balbisiana Colla (AAB Group) cv. 'Pome') Tho Lady Fingers are really fruiting well. This is one of the biggest bunches I have seen for a while. It weighs in at 23.5 kilograms or about 50 pounds. In Australia, the name 'lady finger banana' refers to the 'Pacha Nadan'. They are small, thin skinned, and sweet. The first hand I cut off weighs 3.7kg or 3 lb 14oz. Mostly my plants rely on rainfall and I also don’t fertilise. When the bunch starts to ripen I cut it and hang it somewhere safe. Our next problem will be what to do when the bunches we have all try to ripen at once. 😊 😁 #banana #flower #flowers #bananaflower #ladyfinger #fruit #abcmygarden #pachanadan #pome (at Belmont, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpZfXq1P2yF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Miami: Body sticky like the mango trees, their branches bowing with the weight of their own warm fruit; old cuban men with their portable radios lining neighborhood sidewalks late into the night; cafecito y pastelito; buenos días instead of hello; yellow taxi cabs rusting in stillness under steamy palms; scent of banana flower hanging in the hot June air

Flowers and fruit of our Lady Finger Bananas (Musa acuminata × balbisiana Colla (AAB Group) cv. 'Pome') With all the rain The Lady Fingers are really fruiting. These are two of the biggest bunches I have seen. In Australia, the name 'lady finger banana' refers to the 'Pacha Nadan', . They are small, thin skinned, and sweet. Banana flowers make a good salad but I have not yet learned how to get the bitter taste out. They are easy to propagate from suckers. Mostly my plants rely on rainfall and I also don’t fertilise. I cover the bunch and also remove the flower when it’s no longer making fruit. If I don’t cover the fruit it’s fair game for Flying Foxes, Possums, King Parrots and bush rats. When the bunch starts to ripen I cut it and hang it somewhere safe. Our next problem will be what to do when they all try to ripen at once. #banana #flower #flowers #bananaflower #ladyfinger #fruit #abcmygarden #myplants #homegrown #pachanadan #pomebanana (at Belmont, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnJP0aHP-40/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
