The Gros Michel banana (also known as "Big Mike") was the primary banana cultivar in the U.S. until the 1950s, known for its sweet flavor, creamy texture, and thick skin. It was largely replaced by the Cavendish variety due to its susceptibility to Panama disease. Can be grown outdoors in USDA Hardiness Zones 9a-11b. In colder climates, it is often grown as a tender perennial and may need to be brought inside during freezing weather.
