Bananas.org - View Single Post - Banana source in Brazil found. Pseudonyms of banana cultivars in Brazil?

Hi all!

I have recently found a banana source in Brazil for my yard in Lucianópolis - see Jardim de Banana Lucianópolis (currently only in German, but English and Portuguese are planned). Frutas Raras has a banana sortiment with about 14 varieties and cultivars:
Família das musaceae

We know some of the culltivars in the list. But anyone said me, that many banana cultivars have other names, but the same like us known cultivars. Who can tell me, which have pseudonyms or are similar? I'm strongly looking for Ice Cream, Saba, Thousand Fingers and Praying Hands for Lucianópolis. But still not any source of Ice Cream, Thousand Fingers, Saba and Praying Handys in Brasil is found. But I found Mysore and FHIA-18, these I will buy in Brazil and plant them in my yard in Lucianópolis out.

I have a problem with a import license for banana pups and corms: I emailed and faxed to the agricultural ministery of Sao Paulo 2 weeks ago and until today I did get any answer from there yet.

Best wishes
