Tropical species in Oppido Mamertina (Calabria)

[Oppido]

Hello everyone. I'm starting this thread to discuss the tropical plants grown in Oppido Mamertina (not just by me or my parents).
The first I'll post are the bananas that have grown on my brother's land. I don't know the exact variety, but it's not Orinoco (it could be what's called the "common banana" in Italy, but I'm not sure).

I put the two bananas that appear to be commercial varieties (the fully yellow ones) for comparison and they come from a supermarket and not from the ground.

The damage you see was caused by a hailstorm that lasted nearly all day on December 23, 2024. Otherwise, the plant flowered in August 2024, and the bunch spent the entire winter on the vine, growing slowly over the winter, then reaching maturity in early/mid-July. Do you think that if the bunch had been covered with a blanket, the peel would still have been damaged by the hail? In any case, we opened two fruits, and they had no damage to the pulp (they were really good).

Annona Cherimola reap today by my brother. Together they weigh 1,31 kg. Unfortunately, given the plant's location which is difficult to irrigate, most of the fruits are small.

Nice fruit 😊

Bananas are Orinoco

Avocados harvested from my brother's land. The smooth ones were picked directly from the tree, while the wrinkled ones were blown away by the wind.

I harvested the fruit of my Champaca pineapple. And what can I say? It's much smaller than the first fruit I had, due to a lack of nutrients and, in part, water (I didn't fertilize it and watered it only with distilled water).
On a positive note, the fruit did not suffer from "Black Heart" disease, despite my absolute minimum temperatures of +6.5°C and +6.8°C with hail on January 11-12, and strong winds with heavy rain on January 20-21 (Cyclone Harry). The fruit continued to ripen and grow well into the winter, and the flavor was identical to what you'd expect from a pineapple ripened on the tree.
I still have some growing to do to understand how to handle pineapples when they're bearing fruit. In any case, thanks everyone for the advice you've given me. I'll definitely put more effort into my next pineapple, since the other plant still has the other little fruit growing (although given the average January temperatures, below +15°C and the heavy cloud cover, it's growing slowly).
