1618PB Pink Banana Winter Squash (105 days) Open-pollinated. Will growing Pink Banana improve your social life? We would never make such a claim, but Denny William of Peach Tree Circle Farm in Falmouth, MA, reports that when his largest Banana weighed in at 28.5 lb, “word traveled like wildfire, and my social life improved immensely.” As ridiculous as its exaggerated banana shape and 5x18" dimensions may be, Banana’s moist sweet orange flesh is also ridiculously good. Offered by Aggeler & Musser Co. in 1893, it developed an underground following on the West Coast, but has never been as widely grown in our parts. Though not adapted to northern areas, it can be grown in Maine, and we have seen noble specimens in recent years at the Common Ground Fair.  |
