Banana With Thousand Fingers

Another interesting plant the hobbyist might consider planting is the Pisang Seribu or the banana with a thousand fingers. This produces a fruit bunch that may be as long as six feet. Most of the fingers, however, are very small and don't have edible flesh. There are fleshy fingers,though, near the base of the bunch and these could be eaten fresh. The fruit tastes like the saba banana.
Pisang Seribu, a variety from Indonesia , is not really grown in large scale for commercial fruit production.It is grown as a conversation piece by hobbyists. An enterprising grower could , however, still make money by growing this. He could sell the suckers at a high price to other hobbyists. Plant hobbyist we know who grow this banana include Mariano de Vera who has a hobby farm in Laguna, Andry Lim of Davao City and Capt. James Fos Reamon of General Santos City.
