![]() Thank you to both John's!......I appreciate it guys!....
One thing that I would like to mention/clarify is The Maricongo Plantain Variety is a false-horn type Plantain Variety!.....In the TARS Catalog Maricongo Plantain first page in the curator notes (in the General Tab) it says French type bunch!.....Then in the same page if you look/search the bunch phenotype (in the Agronomic Tab) it says false-horn type!..... ![]() ![]() ![]()
