Default Re: Thoughts on the ID of this beauty?

For members that are growing the white Pisang Awak types I would recommend that you don't kill them just because they are white.

The fruit tastes the same as the green version and they can also produce huge bunches but they do take longer to flower. And you can use them in your breeding programs to produce seeds and make new bananas.
