I found this banana on the MGIS is an international database for bananas.



Welcome to MGIS-DETAILS
Welcome to MGIS

It’s the same banana Kudappanillakunnan is an other name with same meaning.

I am done with the fruits a few weeks ago. This is a delayed update.



Cut the tip off and..



..Cooked and made spicy banana stir-fry.



Harvested bananas hand by hand..




Allowed me to enjoy them for a longer period of time.




Texture and color of the fruits. But can’t explain the taste.






Fruits been shared with many people. Some fruits went to Orlando. And few fingers even went to California.





Below pups of chundillakkannan and tall red (chenkadali strain)




One chundillakkannan pup along with the Red went for an auction on World mission Sunday at church.

Earlier another pup flew over the Atlantic ocean.

Do you have experience with Chini Champa? They originate from Kalimpong, Bengal and I'm eagerly awaiting fruit next year.

Well apparently it's an AB variety, that could be good news in terms of cold hardiness.

Thanks Andreas. The Fla old timers have declared we have started, in S Fla, the next 12 years span of warm winters. So I'm not afraid ------------------ yeah, right!

Thanks to Rainforezt, I was lucky enough to try Chundillakannan. It is a very nice banana, worth growing for sure.

The texture is wonderful, firm at first, yet very smooth when chewed. My wife described it as custard-like. It has a little bit of acidity but not a lot. Similar to Manzano in that regard, but with less apple flavor. If you've grown up eating Cavendish, I think you would feel that it tastes like the banana you're used to eating, except with better texture and a more complex flavor. As you can tell, the fruit itself it is an attractive, light cream color. The fruit is about the same size as Manzano and has a similarly very thin peel and peels easily. For optimal flavor, I found they needed to be quite ripe -- about the same stage as you'd eat a Manzano -- no green and fair amount of brown/black on the peel.

I think this is another one of those confusing cases in bananadom. I find Chini Champa (or spellings very close to that) listed as being from three very different subgroups: Ney Poovan, Mysore, and Pome. If it is actually a Ney Poovan, then the Njalipoovan that Rainforezt is growing is probably very similar or identical, since it is a Ney Poovan variety.
