Have a Banana

[angel]

Looks tasty!

Tasty indeed, Harvey. However, I like eating the saba (Cardava) banana raw as it is very sweet, sweeter than most other bananas. However, this is not the common practice in my country and the elders in my family discouraged me from eating fresh saba.

...
Yug, I am talking about the long and not-so-slender green bananas that turn ever so slightly a dull yellowish green and are quite fragrant, hence they are preferred for banana cupcakes because of the smell. I just don't know the proper name because everybody here refers to as "Stanfilco", after a big banana plantation that popularized this type. It does resemble plantain. It is quite sweet. It may be the same as the "Bungulan" you mentioned.

Nope, can't be 'Bungulan' since those are not very large.

I couldn't post this to Brutal Dreamer so I am just posting it here. It is a Honduran Sweet Banana Tree.

Has it borne fruit already, Traci?

Hi Angel. Yes they have borne fruit. They belong to former students of mine that I still see regularly.

I see. Traci, I hope you can share some pictures of the fruit as well. I'm sure they are delicious.
