I have some problems with the names in English..............

I´m a newbie..................

But I think that Dwarf Brazilian..............belongs to Cavendish Group (AAA)..........???

I have two cultivars here.............one called "Nanica"..........and the other called "Nanicão"..................

"Nanica" is very short tree..............big bunches..............the top of the bunch start at my chest..................and the final of the bunch is almost 40cm from the ground.............

Very small tree.................."Nanica" means Dwarf..............and have amazing taste............very sweet...............but not sub-acid..............


"Prata" cultivar belongs to AAB group................and this have sub-acid flavor...............

Now there is a variant called "Dwarf Prata"....................the tree is shorter..........and the fruits is bigger than regular "Prata".............its the favorite cultivar in Brazil...................


Look at this vídeo..........its an experimental field.................that have almos 400 banana varieties..................

Its from Embrapa - Cruz das Almas.................and the researcher is Edson Amorin.................

Agrônomo mostra que alguns tipos de bananas podem ter sementes - Globo Rural - Catálogo de VÃ*deos


Here is one variant.............TC...................that belongs to the same group AAB................
