This is the only information I can find about this cultivar (Links To Help Identify Your Banana - Musalogue: a catalogue of Musa germplasm Papua New Guinea collecting missions 1988-89) (http://www.bananas.org/showthread.php?p=238097#post238097), in 1997 it was classified as AA then in 2004 chromosome analysis revealed that it's actually AAA.
