Gros Michel "Big Mike" Banana - Musa
$21.99

Gros Michel used to be the banana of choice for grocery stores until disease wiped out commercial production in the 1950s and the Dwarf Cavendish stole its throne. Gros Michel or "Big Mike" went from being the #1 banana consumed to a rare, specialty banana that you can't get unless you grow it yourself. Plant it in your garden along with the Dwarf Cavendish and see what we're all missing out on at the supermarket.
