Default Chundillakkannan

Here are some photos of Chundillakannan fruit. Earlier I started a thread about this banana plant. I was trying to find out about similar bananas or the same banana with a different name exists in any part of the world. This time I got the photos.

As you can see in the picture there is no Inflorescence or tip of the fruit bunch. The tip of the fruit bunch look like a flower.

All the flowers are developed in to fruit. That means all of them are female flowers. But some times, especially if the plant is not very healthy it will produce one or two hands of male flowers are at the end. Those will give tip to the fruit bunch.

My friend give me a sucker last year. This pics are from my friend's property at Parkland florida.

This banana is known for one of the best tasting banana in southern Indian state of Kerala. It’s also a rare variety.
