Default Re: Looking for any info on a banana that I saw on youtube

Hello Starstryke,

That's the Pisang Keling, which I have read is "one" of those varieties that many consider to be the best tasting banana in the world.

Synonyms include:
Latundan - https://www.crop-diversity.org/mgis/...isang-keling-0 (not sure about this as I thought the Latundan was a different type)
Pisang Ceylon/Ceylan - https://www.daleysfruit.com.au/Banan...-acuminata.htm
Mysore - M.M.P.N.D. - Sorting Musa cultivated varieties (cultivars) names

That last link has about 15 or so synonyms in total under the Mysore listing.

Hope you can find a pup somewhere. I've never had the pleasure of trying it myself, but I'm pretty sure I'd be impressed.

Edit:
Link to thread here on the Pisang Keling: Pisang Keling?
This has a link to an info page on it: Musa Mysore - Bananas Wiki

PS Just an enthusiast but not an expert by any stretch, so I'm sure other forum users here would be able to add to this.
