Joy Re: ho kwows a musa dajiao.

Yakuza, if it is really what it is claimed to be an edible cultivar, the Chinese words is translated as Big Banana.

Da = Big

Jiao = Banana

It could be one of the many cultivars there and if I am not wrong here, being a cooler place in China, most of the cultivars there are of the Cavendish type. I was told that the typical SEA cultivars which we get here are not found there as they are too cold sensitive for commercial production.

Beth, Ba = Jungle. Da is pronounced like Tarh, as in Big!
