Re: New banana varieties
I tried to sand them an e-mail..............to get some Pups.............but the e-mail returns............
I have special interest in the varieties of Musa troglodytarum...........
Fouded in Micronesia.............Solomon Islands.............and French Polynesia................
They are not new varieties...............but instead of that.............they are very ancient strains of Banana....................maybe endangered............and few of them with the risk of extinction....................if not properly managed by Islands People...............
The main problem is due replacement of these cultures by Cavendish......or other modern strains of Banana...........that are more productive............
But..........Fei Bananas.......as they call it........Musa troglodytarum..........are very nice.............and have high levels of Carotenoids.............
