Re: Basjoo seed
Hi,
I have a Musa basjoo in Brazil, it is growing well, planted in February 2009. The climate there is no problem for producting seeds.
Yes, I agree, that there should be one variation of basjoos. Seedlings are genetically different, the micropropagated clones not. We need different basjoo cultivars and also basjoo hybrids, e. g. basjoo x sikkimensis, basjoo x itinerans, basjoo x yunnanensis, Mysore x basjoo and others.
At first I will propagate my basjoo in Brazil, it also suckered. Next month I will look after my basjoo and will propagate. I will build one new banana bed in my Brazilian yard. I will prepare the seed production of basjoo.
Best wishes
Joachim
