Im doing embryo resuce gerimination so seeds with only take about 2 days to germinate, and I will at least be able to evalutate and select them for initial vigor. It is also on going project for a few years but I have to present this first stuff by March, from then on I have lots of time.

Heres is a more detailed list of what the plants need to be.

FEMALE PARENTS:
Any Rhodochlamys- to be crossed with male fertile edibles (anything from group 1)
'Saba'
'Cardaba'
'Pelipita'
'Yangambi Km.5'

MALE PARENTS:
Any Rhodochlamys- to be crossed with female fertile edibles
'Pisang Jari Buaya'
'Rose'

You can try pollinating your other edible bananas with the Rhodochlamys pollen, but these varieties listed are common ones I have selected for fertility, others really have little to no chance for success.
