Praying Hands is one of the most unusual varieties of banana. The
fruit is not separated like most varieties. Each hand is fused together
forming a mass which resembles praying hands. The peel connecting each
fruit is thin, and the fruit can be separted and eaten individually when
ripe. A more interesting way of serving this fruit, is to vertically slice
each hand and place it on a dish to be eaten with a spoon. The fruit is
very sweet and can be left on the plant until it ripens with little worry
of it splitting. The plant grows to 14 feet and can withstand short duration's
of frost without being damaged.
