I take it you don't live in Iceland.


No - New Zealand. Supposedly they don't grow well here although I think that must relate to fruit ripening as the palms grow very fast. I've seen people put big bags over the actual bananas to get them to ripen which presumably helps.


I am yet to see a banana plant with edible bananas in New Zealand.

Fun fact, we're the second largest per capita importer of bananas in the world, just behind Iceland, and bananas are the most common item in shopping baskets.
