Will hybrid banana pups be the same plant?
Greetings! I recently purchased some Williams Hybrid banana plants. I'm curious though, will the pups (keiki - not sure what you call them here) be Williams Hybrid as well or will they be one of the plants they crossed and not be true to the mother plant?
Thank you! |

Quote:
They will be the same. The keiki are genetic clones of the mother plant. Sexual reproduction would be required for offspring that weren't true to the mother plant. Occasionally you may encounter somatic mutants, but they are rare.
