Quote:
It is possible, that Helen's hybrid has AS and BS seedlings.
Explaination:
S=sikkimensis
A=acuminata
B=balbisiana
The Helen's Hybrid has to triploidize, so ASS or BSS. Or one triploid sikkimensis (SSS). So that we get genuine hardy fruit bananas for climate with cold winters!

Interesting, Basjoofriend.
Maybe it could be this simple?
Maybe Balbisiana is dominant over Acuminata?
My observation is that all my Musa Helens have typical "balbisiana shaped" leaves.
