I have 7 or 8 varieties of bananas now, and looking at a catalog, found these;
Margarita
Mac Klavi
Kru
Klue Namwah
Kanderian
FHIA-21 Plantain

I can't find any write ups, photos, description, nada for them. Anyone have experience with any of these? Are they worth planting ??
I'm thinking commercial sales, so..

Thanks for your help !

Sounds like a nice collection. If you click on the "wiki" on the blue bar above there's lots of useful information there as well as using the "search" feature on the opposite side of the blue bar. This should get you pretty well started

FHIA 21 Plantain is an excellent plantain type, not too tall, and a good producer. Personally, I prefer to use Orinocos or Chunchi Huasi (which you won't be able to get) as my main cooking bananas, but for all-round plant health and performance you can't beat the FHIA cultivars.
