Since there are very few edible natural hybrids, it seems that term applies to just about every edible variety members here are growing.

Really






Banana Breeding Programs use the term "synthetic hybrid" for the banana cultivars they develop.

Synthetic Hybrid - FHIA-25 - Breeder's code: SH-3775

I guess I get where they were going with this term, "synthetic hybrid", in that they have tried to synthesize a suite of desirable traits (e.g., disease resistance, productivity, etc.) into a single cultivar, but it is kind of a strange term, in that it seems to only be used for man-made banana hybrids and not other food crops (that I'm aware of).

Anyway, I've been enjoying the synthetic hybrid FHIA-18 fruit I've been eating for the last week. It's a quality cultivar, at least for my tastes. I still slightly prefer my "non-synthetic hybrid" , Dwarf Brazilian (FHIA-18's mom) to it, but the taste is pretty similar to me.

No, traditional breeding. Pollen from one plant transferred to a different variety.
