Default Re: My Helen's hybrid starts to emerge a flower bud!

Disappointed!!
This banana should be somehow weird and strange. The flower bud was too
small, poor and immature to perform the proposed experiments.
The first hand contained only 5 fingers and the second 4 fingers and the third
neutral flower. So the experiments were conducted on the 9 fingers only.


The picture shows the first hand. Right 3 fingers: the stigmas were clipped
off to examine parthenocarpy. Left 2 fingers: Sprayed on the fingers and the
flowers 0.03% solution of Tomatotone p-chlorophenoxyacetic acid to produce
seedless bananas.


This is the second hand of 4 fingers which was hand pollinated with the
pollen from Basjoo. Something could happen?
