Default Re: Ice Cream X Basjoo

PAbananas is correct about the grafting method, and Gabe gave some good time and effort saving advice that is also most accurate.

The Ice Cream is a female fertile banana (ABB) and has not been observed producing viable pollen according to the research I've read.

Basjoo does produce a viable pollen, but is a different species from Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana, the prodgenators of the hybrid "Ice Cream". Hopefully the pollen from Basjoo will be compatable.

Gabe is correct by advising a Paternal Basjoo, Maternal Ice Cream cross.

I hope it works!!! My God grant you success!!
