Default Breeding with giants - The Variegated Tani

Tani leaf



These wild bananas grow to over 5 meters which makes breeding more difficult but by reducing the root zone aka growing in pots we reduce our average height to about 2.7 meters and if the root zone is done with the proper size it has the added benefit of shortening the vegetative phase. If the size is too small it'll lengthen the vegetative phase. The fruiting phase is about 5 months for us and if anyone is wondering, the fruit tastes much better than blue java or nam wa.
