Banana Plant ‘Veinte Cohol’ (Musa hybrid)
Rare and hard to find, Musa ‘Veinte Cohol’ is a fast fruiting banana. Plants going into summer at 2-3’ tall will often flower and fruit by summer’s end, providing the gardener a bumper crop of bananas. ‘Veinte Cohol’ can be grown successfully in large containers in the north or planted in the ground in zones 9-10. Reaching 6-8’ tall, the plant flowers quickly the second season and the fruit forms over the summer. The 4-6” sweet, tasty bananas have an unusual shape, pointed at both ends and rounded in the middle, like an elongated egg with points. This variety will produce 30-35 pounds of bananas per bunch. After fruiting, the mother plant dies, but root rhizomes produce new plants for the following season. Grow in full sun and apply monthly applications of a high potassium fertilizer for best results.
