Reply to comment by Glen_The_Eskimo in TIL that RED bananas exist. They have a sweeter taste, and contain more nutrients like vitamin C, compared to regular yellow ones. by i_hate_you_and_you

I have heard about the creamy blue bananas and want to try those

I actually hear those are like big creamy manzano bananas, there's a three year wait on Miami fruit though

I tried to grow them in North Carolina, unfortunately we’re like 1 or 2 zones too far north for them to survive the winter without being covered by mulch. I’ve kept an offshoot tree in the garage through the winter for the last few years to plant again in the spring, but unfortunately the community pool drain was pointed directly into the backyard this year and by the time the HOA had done anything about it the tree was practically dead from the pool chemicals
