Default Any interesting bananas in Bali?

Hi all,

I'll be spending a week in Bali next week. YAY!!!! I was wondering if there are any unique banana plants, or any plants for that matter, that I could check out? I do know Bali has a fruit called wani, though I'm uncertain if it'll be in season. Do let me know!

Eat all you can while you're there but don't try to bring any plants back. Being arrested at Customs is no fun.

Beautiful place! You'll have to hunt around the local markets. The markets in the villages in the central mountains of the road to Kuta going to North Bali was interesting. Lots of local markets on the way.

We didn't get a chance to go to east Bali or west Bali. We heard most of the Arak (local palm liquor) and palm sugar is made in east Bali.

What I noticed was the types of bananas changed from Kuta to the mountains. There were lots of "mountain bananas" (pardon the creative liberty) on the sides of the road.

*jokingly* I beg to differ. At least Brittish customs are fine. I was being held for about 45 minutes. It took some time to explain, why I carry spezialized army weaponry (Kyzliar). But it ended up well. How bad could it be with plants? *jokingly*

Definitely not a good idea. I just watched a document about a guy from New York. He was mailing himself drugs from Malaysia (coka I think) and ever since then (1987) any packages from tropical countries are submitted for manual check-ins (manual unpacking, seeing what's inside, packing). At least that's what the document said. So you might just as well take that corm with you on the plane.

FEi is a type of banana that likes hot and dry climates and is likely to succeed in various desert type climates in USA (if I remembered well).
Some threads about FEis are here:
French Polynesia

Gabe15's threads about FEis:
fe'i bananas in Manoa Valley
Musa 'Aiuri', fe'i banana

And Gabe15's definition of FEi bananas:
Quote:
fe'i bananas are a group of cooking bananas belonging to the subgenera Australimusa (as opposed to Eumusa as is the case with other edible bananas) and evolved completely separate from the bananas we are most familiar with. They were once an important food, but have been replaced by other crops and are harder to come by these days, the plants are virtually unknown in the horticulture trade and rare to see even in botanic gardens. They generally have erect bunches and fruits with a bright orange pulp.
