The pseudostem appears to be consistent with a FHIA-02,

the male bud appears to be consistent with a FHIA-02,

the bunch position appears to be consistent with a FHIA-02,

and now we know the taste also appears to be consistent with a FHIA-02.

I'm pretty sure that your conclusion, that their conclusion would be wrong, would be wrong.

Especially if that one had the tart apple flavor you'd expect if Prata Ana was a parent.

I've tasted the FHIA-02 and would have to agree with INIBAP,

International Network for the Improvement of Banana and Plantain, Montpellier, France.

"FHIA-01 and FHIA-02 have tart apple-like flavor."
