Default Re: Musa 'Red Tiger' x Musa yunnanense = Hybrid

Hi Rallele,

congratulations to you. Your hybrids seem to be more Musa yunnanensis in the sensivelity against midday sunlight, might be more one forest banana. This might be problematic in my new yard in Brazil, but I will plant them in the shadow of trees after changing the soil.

But one cross between Musa basjoo and sikkimensis might be better. We need more hardy banana hybrids, also hardy fruit bananas which are even much hardier than Orinoco, as hardy as the basjoo.

Best wishes
Joachim
