Thanks lorax for the pix. This is the stuff I am trying to figure out here, old ancestral cultivars which the indigenous people keep. Many are lost due to the progress of agriculture as more 'better' plants are produced to cope with the needs of society.
Do you know that the original Pisang Tanduk is a very rare plant now? What that is offered is the 'improved' version called Pisang Lang(people still refer to it as Tanduk) which produces 3-4 hands of fruits. The old clone of Pisang Tanduk produce only 1 hand of much bigger fruits.
Lastly, I can't figure how the plants became dwarf growing under shade even after many generations. Plants grow taller under shade, rite?
