Wow! Thanks for showing this! I have never came across a ripe basjoo fruit taste video! Yours is the first! Maybe next time you will have a better experience with the basjoo
After 4 years mine finally produced a flower too. I live in Hungary, with subzero and snowy winters. But obviously in winter I protect the trunk and cut the top. Sometimes it survived and sometimes it didn't, but many new banana trees always grow from the rhizome. We are so happy!
Just got one of these plants today. I was thinking you would cook them more like plantains rather than eating fresh. Will check out more of your videos.
Jepp I guess plantains would be the perfect equivalent... They are tasteless more or less as well, but a perfect potatoe replacement! Guess the Musa Bajoo falls into the same category! So not survival food but generally sidedish!
Looking forward to see more videos about bananas. I bought somme plantains from supermarket( Carrefour) and the ripe ones,raw ,tasted way better than the normal bananas .Sadly i dont know the specie or cultivar because i didnt bought the full box.
Amazing fruit. Europes climate is so strange. Was at Wisley RHS gardens today in surrey. They had basjoos going totally mad in a sheltered garden with many ripe fruit as well as sikkimensis but no flowers on that. Nice basjoo flowers: what do they taste like? Thank you gulf steam 😂 We are roughly same latitude as berlin and warsaw... 550km north of Quebec city 😂
Nothing that some honey cannot fix at home! We had some bananas from a Musa basjoo plant at my local botanic gardens 3 years ago, but since then the bananas have been growing but not flowering.. I guess this year is the year. I suspect the tasteless fruit might have something to do with most cultivated M. basjoo being clones of each other? Maybe the taste would be better in a wild, genetically variable plant.
@@allthefruit I believe there are some seed grown plants in circulation, but very difficult to tell among a vast market of clones. If you ever go to Ryukyu Islands in Japan, there are apparently wild populations there.
Thanks for describing the taste. I like to grow a banana tree but this is the only variety that can grow in my location. Description says inedible but I like to know why. Description also says for looks only.
Its rather not worth eating than inedible. Also in cold areas it will not ripen and in warm areas you can grow better bananas. Yesterday we made stew of basijoo pseudostem and corm and it was ok
Well I'm told that basjoo is inedible but mine is now flowering (Sept U.K.) I doubt if it will fruit coming into Autumn/Winter but exciting nevertheless.
Musa velutina is available here in my area ( Nagaland , northeast India ) also we have Musa sikkimensis, Musa aurantiaca, Musa cheesmanii, Musa acuminata and many more .
@@allthefruit Good luck! We will be expecting a Musa seminifera video. Also the Heidelberg botanical garden should have a Musa seminifera plant. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Musa_seminifera__-Botanischer_Garten-__Heidelberg,_Germany_-_DSC01091.jpg

Yes, you are right. Im not giving up
Wow, very cool. It seems to be quite rare to find ripe Basjoo fruits. Hopefully you find a better tasting one next time.
I guess it is almost impossible in Germany but doable in Italy. Thanks

Wow, if you are lucky you will get fruits. Not sure if your summer is long enough for them to ripen

Thank you. I suspect they are not meant to be eaten by us but will continue trying

Ah, thank you. I forgot to apply at our botanic garden for two more bananas. Yes, ripe plantains can be very good

Sure they were ripe?
@@allthefruit yep little yellow things very squishy. many had gone brown and fallen off. i will upload video if you want
@@allthefruit ruclips.net/video/UgwyJebwc-s/видео.htmlsi=BMqyMBTejCL7N_Qi
Yes id say they could be ripe. How was the taste?
@@allthefruit like nothing at all :( mostly the clear gel around the seeds, or perhaps aborted seeds? was edible. tasted very faintly sweet
Wow! I have never seen anyone who have tried to eat Musa bajoo, neither in Thailand, nor in Japan. Just as I thought, it wasn't tasty.
But some people say it is tasty. So i must try it again
Very interest videos, you have a great accent also, good for audio. Keep up the banana videos. ;)
Thank you. Recording a couple banana vids today
I have my first Musa basjoo flower in bloom right now. I hope to have the chance to repeat your taste test! Iowa, USA.
Good luck although Iowa seems too cold for fruits to ripen
@@allthefruit That may be the case, although with the flower opening mid June, I think it's about as good of a chance as I'll ever have.
Hope you can try ripe fruits soon

Good idea. Now i just need to find it inits natural habitat

waiting a long time for this!
What else are you waiting for?
All fruits i would be interested in reviews on: Alibertia patinoi, Annona cornifolia, Boscia senegalensis, Campomanesia lineatifolia, Caryocar brasiliense, Cavendishia grandifolia, Cecropia purpurascens / hololeuca / pachystachya, Cordiera sessilis, Dioscoreophyllum volkensii, Garcinia livingstonei, Hancornia speciosa, Inga macrophylla / capitata, Lacunaria jenmanii, Lardizabala biternata, Mouriri pusa, Myrtillocactus geometrizans, Parmentiera cereifera / aculeata, Passiflora maliformis / popenovii / quadrangularis, Pentadiplandra brazzeana, Plinia coronata, Pouteria glomerata, Saba senegalensis, Santalum acuminatum, Solanum glaucescens, Telfairia pedata, Vaccinium oxycoccos / praestans, Viburnum lentago
@@connorwestgate wow, lots of rare stuff. Quite expensive to travel to all those places😂 but i have reviews on several of those fruits
@@allthefruit ill have to look through your video catalog again!
😅😅That was very interesting. What an anti-climax- I really expected you to say it was delicious. I like your response though. You made me laugh.😅
Ok, next time ill lie for you 😂
Well I'm told that basjoo is inedible but mine is now flowering (Sept U.K.) I doubt if it will fruit coming into Autumn/Winter but exciting nevertheless.
Maybe it will develop little fruits and with your mild wnters there is a small chance they can ripen next year
@@allthefruit
Will the fruit, which is developing now, survive a cold winter?
If I've learned one thing from growing edible landscaping, edible is not equal to tasty.
Yes, sometimes its not worth the trouble
you know the musa velutina banana?
Yes but i never found a ripe one
Musa velutina is available here in my area ( Nagaland , northeast India ) also we have Musa sikkimensis, Musa aurantiaca, Musa cheesmanii, Musa acuminata and many more .
@@roten83 nice. How frost hardy are they?
@@allthefruit since Nagaland is a subalpine and subtropical climate, i guess it can grow in freezer temperature .
Mischiato con fragole o more e latte tipo milkshake e molto buono
Grazie molto
Your video reminded me it's time for a banana, albeit a Cavendish one.
Wonna harvest seminifera next week. Wish me luck
@@allthefruit Good luck! We will be expecting a Musa seminifera video. Also the Heidelberg botanical garden should have a Musa seminifera plant. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Musa_seminifera__-Botanischer_Garten-__Heidelberg,_Germany_-_DSC01091.jpg
I FOUND MUSA BASJOO IN MY COUNTRY AMERICA!
Which state?
@@allthefruitOhio.

Nice 🙂 natural banana not like chikita
But more tart
Hi folks too much bananas tell them to hi folks off
