The plants are tissue cultured cultured plants to prevent disease and give a clone of the healthy parent. It is cold hardy down to about 25 degrees with mulching and wind resistant and considered a dwarf, reaching a height of 8'-14' tall. The FHIA-01 Goldfinger Banana is a hybrid dessert banana that was developed and released by FHIA in 1988. These plants are cold and wind-tolerant and produce high quality fruits and is widely distributed for subsistence and commercial cultivation. The female parent was a Dwarf Brazilian/Dwarf Apple and still carries that nice apple flavor, making it an excellent desert banana and is mostly eaten raw when ripe. The ripe fruit has a sweet-acid, apple flavor that is similar to the mother plant. The cut fruit does not turn black upon exposure to the air and so is good to use in salads.
