Default Taste testing 15 bananas .

Been hearing about these taste tests [ in newspapers and on TV here in north Queensland , Australia] and wondered exactly where this was being done .
Well , where else but at our local South Johnstone DPI .
The 15 selected new types are being grown there , some of the ones being tasted are
Khai Bonng , High Noon , Gros Michel , Ney Poovan , Yenai , F-26 , and FHAI-18.

High Noon ?? is a very large fruit , several were pictured peeled . F26 seemed to be a small Sucrier type .
So many names I am finding are just not listed here !!
