‘Praying Hands’ is an interesting and unique banana, whose name comes from the fact that two adjacent “hands” of bananas are fused together, giving the appearance of praying hands.  The fruit is very enjoyable, with great texture and a hint of vanilla flavor.  It is a taller variety with bunches developing at 10-14 ft from the ground.  They are productive and hardy against wind, pests, and diseases.

Latin name - Musa x paradisiaca

Bananas are one of the easiest and most exciting fruit producing "trees" to grow in Florida!  Botanically speaking they are not a tree, but rather a large herbaceous plant. Most varieties will produce their first bunch about 12 months after planting, with routine harvests every 3-6 months at maturity.  Banana plants are beautiful in the landscape, and can be fit into smaller spaces than most trees.  Overall, bananas may in fact be our #1 favorite fruiting plant to grow for many reasons, including their resiliency, year-round fruit production in South Florida, and the vibrant energy they offer to any landscape.

Banana plants as we know them are the result of thousands of years of human selective breeding efforts, in an effort to improve their usefulness as a food crop.  As the Latin name Musa x paradisiaca suggests, modern Bananas are a hybrid of two original wild species:  Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana.  These originated in two different regions of Southeast Asia: M. acuminata from the tropical islands, and M. balbisiana from the mainlands at higher elevation.  The two species naturally hybridized, and eventually variations with seedless fruit were discovered, forming the foundation for the Banana that we know and love today.  

Banana plants grow from an underground root mass called a corm.  The roots are very shallow and grow quickly, seeking water and nutrients in the soil.  When planting Bananas in your yard, it’s important to note that they do best when fertilized, watered, and mulched well.  

After growing for a period of time, Banana plants will flower and produce a large “bunch” of fruit at the top of the plant.  After several months, when the fruit is mature and ready to be picked, the entire fruit-bearing stalk is cut down, and the fruit is harvested.  During this time, small “pups” form at the base of the plant, and grow quickly.  After the main fruiting stem is harvested and cut down, the next-largest pup will grow to be its successor, fruiting once again within the next few months.  From the time of initial planting to first harvest, with good cultivation, it can take an average of 12 months for fruit to develop and mature, and after initial fruiting you can expect a harvest every 3-6 months.  The Banana plant will produce additional pups which can be dug up and removed, and replanted elsewhere. We recommend, in order to keep your banana plant productive and vigorous, to limit each plant to 3-4 pups at most and remove the excess.   Banana plants do require a special type of maintenance which is different from other fruiting trees, but are quite rewarding in exchange and we consider them one of the best fruiting plants to grow in South Florida.  We have more Banana plants than any other type of fruit planted at our farm.

Banana cultivars exhibit a vast diversity of growth habits, fruiting tendencies, flavor and sugar/starch levels, and visual appearance.  Plantains are actually the same species, but are put into a different category due to the larger, starchier fruit which is mostly eaten cooked, either green or ripe.   Our collection of both Bananas and Plantains has grown over the years, and we have learned to appreciate each variety for its unique characteristics.  

We categorize Banana varieties by a few metrics.

Height:  The height at which the fruit typically hangs.  Leaves usually extend higher.

Production:  Whether the plant is a heavy or light producer, and frequency of harvest.

Fruit quality:  Overall taste, and typical use of the fruit (i.e. fresh eating “dessert” bananas, or cooking bananas)

Hardiness:  Overall toughness and vigor of the plant, including wind resistance and resistance to pests and disease. This does not include cold tolerance– all bananas are damaged by freezing temperatures, however some will recover quicker than others.

Check the individual listings for each variety for a fuller understanding of each banana and its various qualities.  We are continuously evaluating the plants at our farm and will update these listings as new information comes to light.

Great for tall, slender teenager!
Size: Small, Color: Light Grey, Size: Small, Color: Light Grey
Finding a suit for a tall, slender teenage boy is about as hard as climbing Mt. Everest. Until I found this one!! I was so pleasantly surprised that this suit fit my 15 year old son like a glove. He is 5'10'' and 140 lbs so he needs pants with the proper length and smaller waist. While the waist was slightly big, he didn't need a belt and the pants fell perfectly with a pair of Nike tennis shoes. I ordered a size small and would say the pants were a 32x32 but waist was probably more like a 31. Jacket and vest were a great fit as well. High quality and easy to steam to get the shipping wrinkles out.

Fantastic suite for the price!
Size: Large, Color: Khaki
I purchased the gray version to evaluate the suit. I ordered a size up based on other reviews and was pleased to discover everything fit well. The jacket fit well around the arms, chest, shoulders, and even my seemingly ever-growing gut. The vest was the same. The pants also fit well around the waist (thanks to the expanding waistband) butt, and thighs. The only problem was the pants were about 2 sizes too long. Considering the price point, I was felt I was still way ahead after paying to have them altered. After a couple week's worth of wear, I purchased 4 more (gray, black, blue and tan). All fit the same way and were easily altered too. The tailor even had the cashier ask me where I purchased these as he was impressed with the quality. A couple months in and I'm still pleased, although I've had a few issues. My right pocket on my blue pair has ripped it's seam twice, as has the same pocket on one of my gray pair. Considering it's the same pocket, I would suspect I am just heavy handed but this is not a common problem with any of my other clothes. The pants are a bit on the tighter side when I am sitting down so perhaps the stitching is just not strong enough. I have asked the tailor to give me a super stitch in this area and am just about to pick up the gray pair with this new stitch. I'll try to remember to update later on. Overall, I feel I have really gotten my money's worth out of these suits, especially considering the prices of others. I have been wearing these daily since June and have gotten many compliments.

Great suit at a great value
Size: Large, Color: Black
I have ordered several other suits from the seller for my three boys over the last several years for either their prom, special events and graduations. The fit and value are wonderful. I would definitely recommend this suit if you want something that is classy looking, but won’t break the bank
