I hope Gabe sees this or another really knowledgeable member!

What zone is Sao Paulo in ? good luck with it!

Re: Thounsand Fingers
 

I don´t know how zone is here...........

But São Paulo cuty have 1000 mts high...........from sea level...........

Its not a subtropical zone...........

But have few days of winter.................

And the pup grows normally............and vigorous...........

The winter her seems do not affect it............

I used to keep few other brazilian species that do not tolerate the winter here..........

But the Thousand Fingers..........even in its first year........are doing very well........

It seems to be cold resistent...............

Re: Thounsand Fingers
 

You have a tremendous amount of cold hardy synthetics bananas available in your area.

There is a classified banana section in your area, I don't remember the website.


The codes will help with the pedigree.

PC, JV, SM & ST - common Prata (different accessions); PV - Pacovan; PA - Prata Anã; MC - Maçã; YB - Yangambi

"There has also been interest in Prata Anã, a semidwarf form of
yet unknown origin, but which has eating characteristics close to those of Prata. Nonetheless, it is apparently distinct in certain botanical characters."

Tanks for the infos..........

I removed all varieties from my house.............affraid that they could pass some disease to my new Thousand Finger...........

I just want to develop Thousand Fingers.........

The only species that I keep today is two mats of Dwarf Cavendish........that I like........

All my efforts now on bananas is to develop healthy Thousand Fingers..........

That´s why I´m digging a more specific information.............

Re: Thounsand Fingers
 

This is a disease resistant synthetic that you can easily find in São Paulo cuty.

Re: Thounsand Fingers
 

Is it true that nobody knows about Thousand Fingers origin.........???
