I want on of those. I live on a road with no traffic and I would cause accidents I planted one by the fence. which fhia is this. one guy talks about getting seeds from ari-maruku I assume he means tc's. well tended fields don't see hardly a pup no were.

Tytaylor77 · 07-29-2017, 02:50 AM

thanks, what zone?

sputinc7 · 07-29-2017, 11:53 AM

It's a FHIA banana, that seems to be the gist of the dialogue, how much better the FHIA varieties are than the originals. That's obviously in the tropics, somewhere in Africa I would guess.
I just thought it was something to see, a bunch it takes 2-3 men to carry. What do you- suppose they weigh in at? 120 lbs?

don't know what it ways. but they had a contest on how many fingers on a certain stalk. it was 238 fingers.

beam2050 · 07-29-2017, 01:15 PM

so far what I have read, it can grow in zone 8a. considered to be in the large Cavendish type. also came from gran nain and gros Michel. taste is similar to a goldfinger.

Juicy Bananas · 07-29-2017, 02:14 PM

They do not practice sustainable farming. These are most likely doused in chemicals everyday to create a rack like that. I wouldn't eat those bananas.

don't believe these people have the money to do fertilizers or insecticides. they are bringing these things in on bicycles. all that would be aw natural.

Botanical_Bryce · 07-29-2017, 06:20 PM

The plantations spray insecticides not the guys on bikes.

Juicy Bananas · 07-29-2017, 07:28 PM

Sorry... But they use a lot of insecticide, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers on their mono-culture bananas. Just look up feeding regiment for Brazil.

robguz24 · 07-29-2017, 09:11 PM

It's Tanzania. It says so in the first few seconds.

129 kilos- 284 lbs. that's one I found.

Explants of two elite cooking banana cultivars, FHIA17 and INJAGI were collected from healthy source of stock plants growing in the field. Sterilization was evaluated using different concentrations (20, 30, 40, 50 and 60%) of a commercial bleach (JIK) for 25 min. Effects of cytokinins benzyl amino purine (BAP), 2-isopentenyl adenine (2iP) and kinetin each evaluated at 5, 10, 20, 24 and 40 µM and thidiazuron (TDZ) at 0.1, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 µM, on microshoot induction were investigated. Effects of auxins viz. napthaleneacetic acid (NAA), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA each evaluated at 5, 10, 20 and 40 µM) on rooting were tested as well. The highest (91%) numbers of clean explants were obtained when the explants were subjected to sterilization in 40% Jik for 25 min. The FHIA 17 explants cultured on MS media supplemented with 40 µM kinetin produced the highest (3.00±0.35) mean number of microshoots. On the other hand, INJAGI explants cultured on MS media supplemented with 0.1 µM TDZ yielded the highest mean number (1.84±0.24) of microshoots and the highest mean length (0.99±0.13). Rooting was achieved in all media supplemented with the auxins evaluated except on 2,4-D. These results have an important significance on the application of tissue culture in propagation of cooking bananas in Rwanda, which is highly desired to support the government policy of replacing old unproductive bananas with elite high yielding varieties.

I would not say the taste of FHIA-17 is similar to Goldfinger. Doesn't have any of the nice tartness of Goldfinger. Much more similar to Cavendish.

thanks. haven't been able to find one except for tc's. guess I will buy a couple of tc's this fall. the post I talked about taste is something I read online. but thanks for the taste report.
