‘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.

Great!
This is a great bottle warmer with multiple options for heating. It works great and heats a 4 oz. bottle on the "quick" setting in a little over 3 minutes depending on how warm you desire the milk to be. The gentle spinning action keeps any portion of the milk from overheating. I am very happy with this product.

Works, but more desired features wanted
Works well. Love the “shake” feature compared to the last one I had. It actually moves the formula inside of it by spinning the bottle, and to keep it would make the formula heat up faster. Instructions leave a little to be desired for. Not super clear but you can figure it out. However I can’t seem to get it to state how much time is remaining, which could be frustrating with a screaming baby in your arms.

Wrong description listed. Not battery powered.
Be careful if you think this is powered by a rechargeable battery as the description indicates. I needed a battery operated bottle warmer. It's actually corded, so they have the wrong description. Now I get to fill out another return and waste gas driving to return facility.

Works great!
This bottle warmer is excellent! I’ve tried a few and none of them seem to heat the milk at all. I tested this one using a wide mouth bottle filled with 2oz of water. I followed the directions for using a plastic bottle and selected the correct options and added the water. I then turned it on and watched it go. It isn’t loud while operating, but the nightlight is very small and hard to see. Not a big deal to me because I have small lights in my kitchen that I can turn on at night if I need to use this in the middle of the night. The settings on the machine are a little different than when you select options on the machine. It says for a plastic bottle with 2oz on quick is 2:30, but the time was automatic 3:30. I think you have to manually adjust the time according to what the manual suggests. It’s very neat that it spins around gently to ensure the bottle heats evenly. When I took the bottle out it wasn’t so hot that I couldn’t grab it, but I could tell it warmed it well. I obviously had the time too long because I didn’t realize until after that I needed to manually adjust it, but this was just a test run. The water was nice and hot, so I think it would have been perfectly warmed if I had only done 2:30 as recommended. My only issue is typically bottle warmers can also warm baby food, but there is no instruction or anything on how to heat it or how long. I might play around with it and give it a try when I’m ready to make baby food, but for now it’s excellent at heating bottles!
