Varietal Name vs. Grocery Name
I am having a hard time putting a specific variety with a specific type of banana.
Which varieties are marketed as Baby, Manzano, and Burro. |

Re: Varietal Name vs. Grocery Name
Baby= (AA Sucrier Group): Nino, Pisang Mas, Sucrier (many other names exist but these are some commonly seen ones)
Manzano= (AAB Silk Group): Manzano, Apple, Silk Fig... (again, there are many more but these are common) Burro= (ABB Bluggoe Group): Orinoco, Bluggoe, Largo (same story, many more names also exist) Manzano and Burro are both fair variety names. "Baby" however is just a marketing name and not used to refer to the plants in any official manner in the banana growing side of things.

Re: Varietal Name vs. Grocery Name
Do any of the FHIA varieties fit into those groupings or are they just totally different because I believe they are all tetraploid.

Re: Varietal Name vs. Grocery Name
The FHIA bananas do not belong to any of the above groups. The groups listed above are just 3 of the many dozens that exist.

Re: Varietal Name vs. Grocery Name
To confuse you even more, "Babies" may also be Ladyfingers or Oritos. Check the country of origen, because that will help you determine what they are....
(IE Costa Rican "Baby" bananas are likely to be Ladyfingers or Ninos; Ecuadorian or Colombian "Baby" bananas are more likely to be Oritos; those from French Guayana or other French-speaking areas are likely to be Sucrier and so on...) |
