Re: Pisang Awak
Can't help you there, but that is one massive bunch. I get happy when I get 20 bananas on one bunch, lol. Ahhh...the Tropics! It would have its advantages, for sure. But I would miss the seasons changing...oops, got a little sidetracked! Uhh, don't know any of those questions, but I'm sure there is data out there somewhere that you could dig up on it. It just might take a little while! Good luck,
Frank |

Re: Pisang Awak
According to Jonathan H. Crane, Carlos F. Balerdi, and Ian Maguire of the University of Florida, Pisang Awak is the same as Kluai nam wa. It is a M. acuminata x M. balbisiana hybrid. ABB. They say it's the same plant by a different name. Best used in home landscape, fair to good cold tolerance in south Florida and susceptible to Panama disease.
That info is from a link on Jon's site, we be bananas. |

Re: Pisang Awak
Yes, same as Namwha. It is also said to pollinate itself sometimes, resulting in fruit with a few seeds. That happened to me while eating this one in Thailand. I tried to sprout the seeds, but no luck doing that!
