Platano & Manini

Hi All, I'm new to this forum and I mostly grow Platano & Manini, but also grow some other bananas & fruit trees.

First photo is a FHIA-03 plant crop & the second 2 photos are the ratoon crop, which I'm expecting in the 125 to 150 lb. range.

The first leaf was not variegated, so this one might be heading towards the compost pile soon.
