Pitoga bananas
« on: May 21, 2021, 08:55:30 AM »


If you have kids they would love these bananas, they are good for adults too. A friend introduced these to me and it’s a really good banana fruit and tree. Bunches can get twice as big but this was fruited in the winter.
Don’t rush, take time and enjoy life and food.

About 10ft, relatively cold tolerant, all the bunches on the other varieties died off during the winter.

Nice.  I have Dwarf Namwah & Dwarf Red.  I've been thinking of picking up Pitogo, but have read they get to 20 feet tall

Is that one also called the fig banana? I think there's one called banano higo in Costa Rica and it looks a lot like that. They look awesome! Kids always dig the small baby bananas.

You're correct
