Basjoofriend

Bigdog, you seem to have made one cross between Musa basjoo and Musa velutina. It will be also an interesting hardy cross if it does work.

But Musa basjoo is from the Eumusa section and Musa velutina from the Rhodoclayms section, but I know one cross between one acuminata and anyone from the Rhodoclayms section.

Yes, it is impossible to cross bananas here in Germany for me. So I plan to emigrate to Brasil to the state Sao Paulo where the family of my guest daughter lives. Her dad was recently banana farmer and will help me to get one yard for one banana plantation. Also one friend from Vienna/Austria is biologist and has now tried crosses between basjoos, sikkis and other banana species, also fruit bananas by DNA fusion. Also he tried to triploidze Musa basjoo to get one hardy plantain banana. Also he might cross Musa basjoo and sikkimensis by DNA fusion in the laboratory and grow plants by tissue culture. Also he will go with me to Brasil to breed new hardy bananas. Brasil is a large country with different climates, in the south of Brasil it can be cold in the mountains and sometimes frosts and snow in the southern winter.

The biologist from Vienna will visit me in the next month when he has one business travel to Hamburg before I travel with my wife and my guest daughter to Brasil in August. He will bring me his new mutants of Musa basjoo and others.

With the best
Joachim
