Banana Yucca

So we cut open the immature fruit as recommended by a local nursery guy and removed all the seeds and are now drying them for the next 2 weeks. We'll start them in pots, indoors, before planting them in the yard in Sept or Oct.
Then, we sliced up some of the fruit, tried it raw. It was OK, but obviously immature, like eating a very green banana. So I dipped the remaining slices in tempura batter and fried them up and they were quite good!
We got lots and lots of seed out of the the one fruit. If they germinate, I may have some seeds, or small plants to get rid of in the Fall. I'll post back here again if I do, in case anyone would be interested in obtaining a plant or seeds.
