Default Re: Is it possible to double flower?

Hi,

the most known is 'Double Mahoi', which does form two bunches per pseudotrunk, this is a variety of "Dwarf Cavendish", I have also "Nanica" here in Brazil, very similar to "Dwarf Cavendish". Here also in Brazil one double bunching cultivar does exist, this is "2 Cachos". I will get on Tuesday or Wednesday 2 pups of "2 Cachos" from Helton.

Today I have prepared my new yard in Brazil for my banana collection, see Bananas Raras But my soil in Brazil is sandy. Anyone has experiences with larger bananas on sandy soil? But my Musa basjoo 'Sakhalin' does well here in the sandy soil It's clearly necessary to water and fertilize much here.

With the best wishes from Brazil
