Try to dehydrate some if you can’t consume them fast enough.

Won’t be a problem around here! These have a sub-acid quality, as if there’s a bit of nectarine flavor. Everyone loves them. Should be fully ripe in a day or two.

That would be true for store-bought “chichita” brand bananas, which are harvested unripe and then gassed in the hull of a boat to simulate ripening. However, if you were to taste one of these bananas in my photo you’d find it under-ripe.

I gave the first hand to my dentist’s practice, the second to my neighbors, and the rest are destined to a weekend banana feast!

Flag leaf! The next growth to emerge will be an inflorescence. Great timing with warmer weather on its way.

This one is a very good representative of the Mysore group. We like the flavor – it is both subacid and sweet in its own way.
