Re: Williams Hybrid vs Gran Nain
Thanks Sandy. I am trying to import some new varieties into Bermuda in the form of tissue cultures. We have Gran Nain here but not Williams. I was hoping they were different, maybe someone will have some info on why they have different names or if there are subtle differences.
We have a ban on importing banana plants so my approach is convince the government to introduce new commercially viable varieties (for growers rather than nurseries). I am looking at others like the Raja Puri for its fast time to maturity, Ice Cream based on excellent taste and Williams. High yeild, wind resistant (small to medium height), disease free and great taste are my criteria. If you have any suggestions let me know.
Also I am glad you mentioned Sunshine and Agristarts as those are to two TC producers I have contacted already. They sound like good places to deal with.
Cheers
James
