Banana Misi Luki has beautiful green foliage and is highly disease resistant, flowering in autumn and ready to harvest in spring.
Tight bunches of delicious lady finger bananas are produced and are short and fat and very sweet. Banana Misi Luki is a vigorous plant that is tolerant of drought and poor soils. It is also quick growing, reaching approximate height of 3-4m.
Banana Misi Luki is self-fertile. The flower stalk appears out of the centre once the plant is fully grown. It hangs down as the flower develops. The male flower develops at the end of the flower stalk creating a bell. The female flowers spiral around the stem. The female flowers are white tubular with rich nectar purple bracts and deep red within.
Once a bunch of bananas has developed remove the bell flower. This will make sure the energy is put into fruit development. Harvest the bunch once the oldest bananas start to yellow and hang up in a shed to ripen. Or harvest fruit individually as they tree ripen in spring. This is ideal in cooler climates. The fruit produced has a good shelf life.
