‘Praying Hands’ is an interesting and unique banana, whose name comes from the fact that two adjacent “hands” of bananas are fused together, giving the appearance of praying hands.  The fruit is very enjoyable, with great texture and a hint of vanilla flavor.  It is a taller variety with bunches developing at 10-14 ft from the ground.  They are productive and hardy against wind, pests, and diseases.

Latin name - Musa x paradisiaca

Bananas are one of the easiest and most exciting fruit producing "trees" to grow in Florida!  Botanically speaking they are not a tree, but rather a large herbaceous plant. Most varieties will produce their first bunch about 12 months after planting, with routine harvests every 3-6 months at maturity.  Banana plants are beautiful in the landscape, and can be fit into smaller spaces than most trees.  Overall, bananas may in fact be our #1 favorite fruiting plant to grow for many reasons, including their resiliency, year-round fruit production in South Florida, and the vibrant energy they offer to any landscape.

Banana plants as we know them are the result of thousands of years of human selective breeding efforts, in an effort to improve their usefulness as a food crop.  As the Latin name Musa x paradisiaca suggests, modern Bananas are a hybrid of two original wild species:  Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana.  These originated in two different regions of Southeast Asia: M. acuminata from the tropical islands, and M. balbisiana from the mainlands at higher elevation.  The two species naturally hybridized, and eventually variations with seedless fruit were discovered, forming the foundation for the Banana that we know and love today.  

Banana plants grow from an underground root mass called a corm.  The roots are very shallow and grow quickly, seeking water and nutrients in the soil.  When planting Bananas in your yard, it’s important to note that they do best when fertilized, watered, and mulched well.  

After growing for a period of time, Banana plants will flower and produce a large “bunch” of fruit at the top of the plant.  After several months, when the fruit is mature and ready to be picked, the entire fruit-bearing stalk is cut down, and the fruit is harvested.  During this time, small “pups” form at the base of the plant, and grow quickly.  After the main fruiting stem is harvested and cut down, the next-largest pup will grow to be its successor, fruiting once again within the next few months.  From the time of initial planting to first harvest, with good cultivation, it can take an average of 12 months for fruit to develop and mature, and after initial fruiting you can expect a harvest every 3-6 months.  The Banana plant will produce additional pups which can be dug up and removed, and replanted elsewhere. We recommend, in order to keep your banana plant productive and vigorous, to limit each plant to 3-4 pups at most and remove the excess.   Banana plants do require a special type of maintenance which is different from other fruiting trees, but are quite rewarding in exchange and we consider them one of the best fruiting plants to grow in South Florida.  We have more Banana plants than any other type of fruit planted at our farm.

Banana cultivars exhibit a vast diversity of growth habits, fruiting tendencies, flavor and sugar/starch levels, and visual appearance.  Plantains are actually the same species, but are put into a different category due to the larger, starchier fruit which is mostly eaten cooked, either green or ripe.   Our collection of both Bananas and Plantains has grown over the years, and we have learned to appreciate each variety for its unique characteristics.  

We categorize Banana varieties by a few metrics.

Height:  The height at which the fruit typically hangs.  Leaves usually extend higher.

Production:  Whether the plant is a heavy or light producer, and frequency of harvest.

Fruit quality:  Overall taste, and typical use of the fruit (i.e. fresh eating “dessert” bananas, or cooking bananas)

Hardiness:  Overall toughness and vigor of the plant, including wind resistance and resistance to pests and disease. This does not include cold tolerance– all bananas are damaged by freezing temperatures, however some will recover quicker than others.

Check the individual listings for each variety for a fuller understanding of each banana and its various qualities.  We are continuously evaluating the plants at our farm and will update these listings as new information comes to light.

Pretty damn good, instructions are on the right in English. Took me a hot minute to find it and was so close to getting back into Duolingo and learning German.

Nice and sturdy.
Color: Black*2Pack
This system worked for what I needed. The metal wire trays are well-made and big enough to handle larger power strips. I was concerned when ordering it, as I have had to return several in the past, from other companies that were just too small. These, along with the wire holders, made channeling the wires behind my desk rather easy.

These worked out well
Color: Black*2Pack
These worked out well. One of the two baskets was bent a little so I had to adjust to make them match. The baskets are strong and they are holding multiple power supplies without issues. I don't prefer self tapping screws but I pre-drilled small pilot holes and they worked fine.

Racking Solution for Networking Devices
Color: White*2Pack, Color: White*2Pack
Guess I need to clean that wall... It's not noticeable in person but really came out in these pics lol THE REVIEW I bought these because I wanted to clean up and my networking setup. I refuse to get an all-in-one device from my cable provider, opting instead to purchase my own modem, router (Netgate), switch, and access point (Unifi Cube). This ends as spaghetti and meatballs setup of cables and devices. Nothing beats a racking system for isolating components, protecting them, airflow for cooling, etc. I've attached a couple of pics of the setup. From ground up, you go through modem, router, 10-port managed switch, and out to wifi access point and secondary 5-port switch that are in other rooms. I wanted something that would: - Get these off of the desk level in case of another coffee spill ;-) - Separate them enough to where they can breath without sucking up heat from one another - Keep cables neat/organized This turned out to be a very inexpensive and perfect solution.
