Climates and how they effect taste?

FHIA - 18 ("APPLE" TYPE)


I was just talking to the banana expert from NSW Agriculture, where FHIA-18 is beiing tested commercially. Fruiting height is around 4-4.5m, halfway between williams cav. and Lady finger. It is failing here in subtropical Australia, and is now considered by most people to be inferior to its 'sister' FHIA-1 (Goldfinger) in every respect. A shame...
