Banana
Raja Puri
History
Originated in India, where it's known as "Raja Banana" - the name translates to "King Banana."
Taste profile
Sweet, creamy flesh often described with honey-like sweetness and subtle hints of vanilla; a balanced sweet-tart flavor with fruity, slightly vegetal undertones.
Growing habits
A true dwarf variety, only 4-8 feet tall, with a notably thick, sturdy stem that gives it excellent wind resistance - a real advantage in hurricane-prone South Florida. Bunches form low, making harvest easy. Slower growing than many banana varieties but reliably hardy.
