Re: Some plantains
Rainforezt,
Here are the answers that I feel sure about, I've leave the other questions for someone who knows more.
FHIA 1, 17, and 18 are all genetically different plants. FHIA 1 and 18 are actually siblings, but not clones. They all taste different. FHIA 1 and 18 are similar, but 18 is more tart. FHIA 17 is very similar to a supermarket Cavendish, but gets pretty nasty when too ripe.
Burro (Orinoco) and Hua Moa and not technically plantains, though both are primarily cooking bananas. True Plantains are a specific subgroup and not that closely related to Burro or Hua Moa.
To me, tall Namwah and Dwarf Namwah taste pretty darn similar. Misi Luki could be the same as tall Namwah. The jury is still out.
