Default Re: Sigatoka on Ice Cream??

Thanks sunfish, this is really helpful. In my searches yesterday I also came across another publication from Queensland, Australia that listed cultivars that are resistant to Black Sigatoka. "Ducasse" was listed as one, which if remember from a post by another member here is the Australian name for the Pisang Awak family of plants (Dwarf Namwah, Tall Namwah, fake Misi Luki and fake Ice Cream, which is what mine is). If that's the case, its good to know that at worse case scenario, the plant is genetically resistant to Black Sigatoka. Although, only two places in the US have reported it, South Florida and Hawaii haha and I'm a good distance from either. Thanks again.
