Here is some pics of the rare chundillakkannan or koombillakkannan banana.
There is no male flowers.
My friend planted a sword pup last march and now in six months it’s fruited with 100+ fingers. It’s seems like this variety fruits really fast. He planted this banana in a raised bed with lots of cow manure and watered well.

I didn't realize there was a regular banana without a male flower. Horn plantains don't have them, but that isn't a horn plantain. You have something special there.

This mutation has happened in many different banana groups, not just in Plantains.

This mutation has happened in many different banana groups, not just in Plantains.

Is it usually in the groups with B genetics or are there acuminatas(AA,AAA,AAAA) with it as well?
