Default Re: Kandrian Taste Report

"Numerous banana cultivars will grow in Florida however their disease resistance and fruit quality vary widely. Some times a specific cultivar may substitute for by another cultivar but many times this is not the case. Currently, the most popular banana being grown is called Thai-banana however; this is more accurately called ‘Pisang Awak’ or ‘Kluai Nam Wa’. Unfortunately it is susceptible to Panama Disease. Although we have tested some banana cultivars and there are a number of good banana cultivars that can grow in south Florida, whether they can substitute for the Thai-banana is not known. In the table below we list a number of banana cultivars with Panama Disease Resistance. Before planting large acreages of any of these, they should be grown on a very small scale and tested for their fruit quality and yields."

The Kandrian scored high.
