xen Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Usually you will find the Thais regard those large bananas as only suitable for cooking , although the leaves and the bell (flower ) are also used in dishes. The smaller ones are the ones they usually eat as a fruit. If you see a clump of the large bananas you may be able to negotiate getting a sucker from the base of the banana stool. Just dig it out and plant ans within a short time you will have bananas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joop50 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 It's a plant, gluay hom is the large variety, kam tien market indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 My wife bought some dwarf variety from Mae Jo Uni, only about shoulder height, but produce full size bananas, 50 Bht each, Regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cacarr Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 The commercial variety you're thinking of is Musa acuminata "Dwarf Cavendish". As was mentioned elsewhere in the thread, you just need to dig up a pup and attached chunk of corm (bulb-like mass in the ground, with roots growing out of it).

tango Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 ^^^ I agree. Kluay Hom is the variety I like. Kasem sells these. The min-banana with the seeds is a far cry away in taste IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredwiggy Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 You've watched me where for seven years? And a forum about bananas seems to be the right one to ask this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredwiggy Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I know. Was just wondering if anyone knew where I could get the blue bananas. Preferably in Isaan but anywhere within driving or visiting distance is ok. Would like to get some seeds or live plants.
