New Banana Collection

Additional on my banana collection is the Pisang Seribu or 'thousand fingers' banana. Thousand Fingers bananas are seedless. The texture is soft and the flavor is very sweet. 


I was able to plant this one regular size sucker that I detached from the mother hill.

There are some small suckers with roots too. These small suckers needs to be grown first on polybags and wait for them to grow bigger soon before outplanting.
