Hi,

While researching a bit on bananas in the subtropics I ran across these cultivar names which were evaluated on the Canary Islands, Spain and I wonder if there's any information available? These names were just mentioned, so I don't have anything else. Google was not a big help, execpt for the first cultivar (see below).

Musa 'GRUESA PALMERA' (the only thing I found was that it should be a improved cavendish type)

Musa 'BRIER'

Musa 'RICASA'

Musa 'PALMERITA'

I think, all are Dwarf Cavendish types, because that's the mainly produced type in the Canary Islands, but who knows? Maybe they're just other names for commonly known bananas, so any help identifying these would be interessting, too.
