Basjoofriend

Hi,

why not cross Musa basjoo and yunnanensis with pollen from AAB, ABB, e. g. Mysore, Dwarf Brazilian? This might be more successful, and then the hybrids will be seedless, edible and hardy! Seeded wild banana as mother and parthenocarpic fruit banana cultivar as dad, it is possible, see also Musa acuminata ssp. sumatrana syn. zebrina x Grand Nain, this hybrid also already exists and has also seedles edible fruits, but not very tasty.

You can also ask Jack Daw here, he has one hardy fruit banana from India, perhaps he can send you one pup.

Markku Häkkinen suggested to use Musa yunnanensis to breed fruit bananas for colder climate. Yes, he also found this hardier Musa acuminata there where you are looking for.

You can also contact Markku Häkkinwn, he is also member here.

Best wishes
Joachim
