How was the taste of capitata? Is it somewhat like kousa? Cause I like kousa but there is so little pulp it’s not worth growing. This one looks way bigger…

Paul I never tried kousa, but I hear it’s similar. This capitata has huge fruits, bigger than ping pong balls, some close to the size of tennis balls, and a lot of pulp no doubt. I liked the taste, banana like if I can give an exemple

It’s really impressive, i love to have it! Good luck to have fruits fast! 
Guys if you go there again please count me in. I would love to have one capitata as well.
It’s probably not fully hardy here but I would love to try (they were saying this about couple other fruits that are prospering just fine). It is virtually impossible to buy one here. I will pay all expenses + extra or can send you something from my collection.

Well they nead a cold protected spot but as much sun as possible. A lot of water and some feeding…
You should grow banana plants on pot as much as possible to protect them if neaded and plant them on ground in the beginning of spring when no cold temp can happened.
My wife really wants to go to Portugal. Little does she know that if we go half of the trip will be spent in nurseries.
Luis I appreciate the offer but I don’t want to interfere. I can wait till next year, of course if you are not desperately wanting it I will take it (but as I said I can wait till next year).

Thank you my friend, but really you can keep it. I’m more near it, so it’s easier for me to get it next year.
