Re: Generation of new banana varieties by hybridization. Wild/ornamental X domestic.

Thanks for the link. I have plenty of FHIA-21 to experiment with.

Gabe mentioned using tetraploids to me several years ago and for whatever reason I assumed it was as the female parent and I haven't...

Re: Is anyone growing balbisiana Tani from seed

I messaged Gabe with this question and posted his replied because it might be helpful to other members. There were some photos so it might take a while depending on how the site is running.

Re: Vertical Propagation

I'm just hoping that it's easily understood.

A growing point is constantly on the move and the grower can manipulate this for propagation.

A hobbyist can buy a variegated A'ea'e and move the GP up...

Re: Variegated Namwa

It has exceeded my expectations. It holds 9 leaves now, puts out a new leaf every 2 weeks, and does not skip a beat. All my other bananas just keep a leaf or two or even none over winter. Will try to...

Re: Variegated Namwa

I really don't know and it seems unlikely that a wild banana is female infertile but that's what I'm leaning towards. I've harvested well over a million seeds and not to get one good seed seems...

Re: Variegated Namwa

Do you think the seeds did not get good pollination, were not mature, or something else?

Re: Variegated Namwa

Seed squeezing is an important method I used to test seed viability. A bad seed will crush with less pressure than a good seed.

When I sell seeds I always send plenty of extras. Extra seeds give...
