Re: Banana ID spreadsheet?
Maybe we need a few different spread sheets with pictures. I started a few ID lists myself. This is what I came up with. I'm not a expert but I think it's right.
Banana Mat (group of bananas plants from the first plant)
Inflorescence (bud that holds the baby bananas)
Peduncle (stalk that supports inflorescence and attaches to the rhizome)
Rachis (stalk of the inflorescence from the first fruit to the end of the bud)
Rachis can be bare or covered with bracts
Scars on the rachis are called nodes
Pisang Raja messy rachis
Lakatan messy rachis
Dwarf Brazilian messy rachis
Rajapuri messy messy rachis
Grande Naine messy rachis
FHIA 3 messy rachis
FHIA 1 clean rachis
Williams clean rachis
Brazilian clean rachis
Orinoco clean rachis
American Goldfinger mostly clean rachis
Dwarf Giant (enano gigante) clean then messy rachis
FHIA 2 clean then messy rachis
Cavendish clean then messy rachis
Gros Michel mostly clean rachis
