Heres a ripe fruit from a babaco plant I bought a couple years ago from wild lands plants. Taste great with a little lemon and sugar!
yes I am sure.
i have several big ones in the ground that look like yours. I've had these for years and fruited them.
Just noticed this fruit and wondered how long until it is ripe.
Needs to get Maroon/Red color, it ripens usually around September or so (at least my plant does).
If the buyer wants to part with a pup and ship. It *eye brow wiggle* I'm here and looking to add more banana to my yard.
Holy cow Nate,
That is a huge dwarf Brazilian in a pot. That is a great deal for someone. Mine is holding fruit now and should ripen next month. This is an excellent banana variety for home growers. The level of intense sweetness is unmatched by anything you can buy in the store.

Ship them in flat rate boxes, with the pot taped to the side of the box. Water the plant, get some wet paper towel, put it on the soil surface, then saran wrap the pot.
You technically should have permits and phytosanitary certificates, but many send without.
Here’s another update of my Yangmei. The weather is getting warmer and we are also getting more sunlight hours and I’m not sure if it’s the increased light, warmer temps, or a combination of both that is causing my blooms to convert to vegetative growth.
If it’s the heat that is causing the blooms to turn vegetative, the growers in warmer climates such as those growing in Hawaii or Southern Florida will have to ensure they get sufficient cold stimulus to get blooms and fruit set. Alternatively, they can look for varieties that may not require as much cold stimulus to trigger blooms.
My male tree still has blooms on it but there are very few male blooms left. The good news is that it appears this male produces enough blooms/pollen to pollinate the earlier and later blooming varieties. In April, there are very few blooms on my male and female plants, everything is definitely winding down in terms of blooms.
Here’s my Ann Hai on Californica rootstock. It is growing in a large pot and it set a ton of fruit. I stopped counting after 200. So far, I have not noticed any fruit drop.

Super cool to see those fruits on your trees!
Joe, nice growth on the Shine.
If anyone else has the Shine growng now with leaves, can you post it here, I'd like to compare the leaves of Shine to my tree.
If you show me yours, I will show you mine. I also have a Red Shine grape growing.
Lots of flowers here too. I love the red. Can’t remember if male or female (I think female) but I’m still looking for healthy vegetative growth over fruit. Maybe next year I’ll graft on some scions of opposite sex but it’s fun to have it healthy and thriving!
