(If it is the first time creating the page - and it is - please remove everything between parenthesis if you do not know the info. Someone will eventually fill it out, but let's keep it clean. Remember, this is just a template to get you going! Remove this message, too, bring Cultivar Name up to the top)

Contents

Cultivar Name

(The single most mentioned or accepted cultivar name. Remember, remove all parenthesis notes such as this one, even if you are leaving the area blank!)

Synonyms

(Any and all of the possible synonyms. What other names does this banana go by?)

Pictures

(Local file links to display the various pictures.)

Description

(General description of the cultivar.)

  • Genetic Group - (Such as AAA, AAB, AA, ABB, etc., and the parentage, if known.)

Origin

(Most probable place of origin, like Himalayas, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, FHIA, etc. Any history about its discovery or breeding should go here, too.)

  • Date realized in trade - (Date when this cultivar was first introduced to the trade or hobby.)

Usage

(The primary uses of this banana and their other main usage, ie, ornamental foliage, ornamental flower, dessert, cooking, wine making, banana chips, all of the above, etc.)

Flowering

(General description of the bloom, unique flower features, etc.)

  • Time To Bloom - (Average number of days to maturity starting from 1 ft pup pseudostem height under tropical conditions. If this is known, one can extrapolate this into number of warm days here in the US and estimate how long it would take to bloom.)
  • Time To Harvest - (Average number of days (starting from full flag leaf extrusion) to harvest (when the first hands start to turn yellow) under tropical conditions. Again, this can be extrapolated into the US growing conditions by counting the number of warm days under our conditions. Together with the number of days to bloom, the overall speed can be ranked as to which are fast growing or not.)

Cultivation

  • Mature Height - (The average known pseudostem height when they bloom.)
  • Survival Zone - (The lowest USDA zone that these bananas can survive without extraordinary (ie. greenhouse) winter protection.)
  • Fruiting Zone - (The lowest USDA zone that these bananas can bear usable edible fruits without extraordinary (ie. greenhouse) winter protection.)
  • Cold Hardiness General - (The general accepted cold hardiness zone based on review.)
    • Cold Hardiness Personal - (Your personal cold hardiness scoring based on actual experiences relative to other cultivars grown and also from interviews of reliable friends and colleagues about their experiences in growing the same banana in their USDA zones. After you input data in this field, please sign your entry using these characters ~~~~ (just the four tildes). This will insert your name and the timestamp.)
  • Wind - (Your experience with this banana and it's resistance to wind.)
  • Taste Description - (General taste description and average of personal ranking by various growers.)
  • Personal Notes - (Personal notes about this variety as it performs in your yard. Start a new line by using an asterisk paired with a colon. After you input data in this field, please sign your entry using these characters ~~~~ (four tildes). This will insert your name and the timestamp.)

Known Afflictions

  • Pests - (What pests like to munch or live on this banana?)
  • Susceptible Diseases - (Known diseases that this cultivar is susceptible to.)
