Yeah, INIBAP has much very interesting infos about bananas, genetic improvements, breedings, banana farming and more. I have now contact with INIBAP, I got many pics for my new German banana book. The people are very kind.
INIBAP will be important for us! I self grow hardy bananas currently in Germany.
Blue bananas, it is very cool and randy!!!
A must have for every banana friend!!! But it is probably not as hardy as Musa basjoo.
I know different banana varieties with different colored and shaped fruits. There are yellow, orange, red (Red Cavendish, Dwarf Red Cavendish e. g.), round like tennis balls (e. g. Pitogo), giant fruits (African Rhinohorn), hardy bananas (basjoo, sikkimensis, yunnanensis and itinerans, Dwarf Orinoco, California Gold e.g.), there are more than 1200 banana varieties and species in all over the world. I love bananas very much since 1999 on Tenerife at the Bananera El Guanche. I'm dreaming of a banana park with many different species and varieties from all over the world, but it's impossible in Germany because of the too cold climate (only few bananas will be hardy enough in Germany to survive by winterprotection like Musa basjoo, I hate the climate in Germany). So I plan to emigrate with some befriended biologists and exotic garden enthusiasts to Southamerica to realize my dream.
With the best
Joachim
