Default FHIA-18 has a name
I was reading some literature out of Australia about growing bananas in the subtropics and they had a name for FHIA-18. They called it Bananza.

I noticed that same name for FHIA 18 in another Australian document I ran across, too.

According to the Bioversity International Cultivar Guide, SH-3480 is a synonym of FHIA-18.

some of the seed catalogs do that "renaming" thing too. Like this:
Try our "Tasty White hybrid" corn... (pat. name sugar buns) or something like that. Sure makes it easy to know you have the right plant, huh?

Default Re: FHIA-18 has a name
I can understand a plant seller wanting a plant name -- not a number. In the Citrus industry, the breeding center names the plant before releasing it and thus avoiding a gaggle of names from nurseries. The banana breeding programs are focused on cultivars for plantations where no one cares about id numbers. So here we are growing backyard bananas -- 14 different names but only a few different cultivars!

Working with vegetable crops, I prefer the names because they are east to remember. A lot of the new lettuce and sweet corn varieties are numbered. Most agronomic crops like corn, cotton, soybeans and sugarcane are numbered though. Don't they call SH-3640 "High Noon" or something like that.

I finally got to taste FHIA-18. I'm quite surprised that it isn't as good as FHIA-1 which is its sibling. Perhaps the soil "terroir" changes the flavor of a banana. The FHIA-1 was on mucky soil, while the FHIA-18 was on more marly rocky ground. 0

Until I'd tasted wine made with the exact same clone of grape with the exact same methods, by the exact same people, I'd never really believed that "terroir" mattered that much. Boy, it sure can! I've also read some discussion about some varieties of bananas tasting better when grown in temperate regions rather than the tropics (and I'm sure there are many that are the opposite). My point is, maybe a California FHIA-18 would taste different than a Florida FHIA-18.

And then there's personal tastes. I've only tried FHIA-18 once (courtesy of Momoese) and FHIA-1 a few times, but I would give the nod to 18 over 1, though I think they are both great. More acidity in the FHIA-18 than the FHIA-1, though both have some.

Default Re: FHIA-18 has a name
I had some FHIA-1 down in Homestead several years ago and I wasn't impressed. A few years later I have them in the 'glades and my opinion has changed completely. With bananas you have the confounding factor of what time of year it is harvested. I think that Spring fruit taste the best, but that may just be due to the lack of fruit in the winter.
