I liked seeing banana trees on a couple of our holidays. Our climate is far too cold for them but they're a very popular fruit in this country. They're imported mostly from Ecuador or the Phillipines and the ripening process tends to vary a bit.
A couple of years ago there was a problem with one of the ships and we ended up with some bananas with Russian stickers on them. Cheers, Dave > On Apr 5, 2016, at 2:09 AM, Daniel J.
