HUA MOA IS MY FAVORITE BANANA/PLANTAIN TYPE OF FRUIT !!! You can eat it green or yellow when fully ripe. I started growing this Banana/Plantain type of Banana over 32 year ago. We had over 75 Different kinds of Banana & Plantain plants @ 1 time and the Hua Moa was just 1 of the many Banana plants we grew. I was able to introduce several hundred of these Hua Moa Banana/Plantain plant Commercially to Puerto Rico over 25 years ago. In Puerto Rico they referred to it as the " Hawaii Ano " Banana. It's like 1/2 Banana & 1/2 Plantain or more like a 30/70 split. These quickly became popular in making Toastones . Here are some photos of the fruits & plant. We still grow over 25 of the better more popular banana & plantain varieties. Sherry & Larry Shatzer
