Default Pisang Kates
Hello everyone, I am not used yet of posting to internet group like this. Please excuse this posting. I am searching for a rare cultivar called "Pisang Kates" but I cannot find planting material or even picture in the internet like, webebananas, banana-tree, etc... and even in wiki. Thats why I joined this group. Maybe I can find "Pisang Kates" among the members here. Thanks a lot.

I read it from a old news article (2002). The description is like this, The Pisang Kates are papaya-like bananas with solitary fruit per hand.

The great wealth of Musa germplasm in Southeast Asia includes some of the
rarest and most unique cultivars of banana in the world. The Pisang Kates of
Indonesia bear large, solitary fruits per ‘hand’ and the ‘fingers’ look like small
papaya. Kates mean papaya.

Searching the MGIS database (http://195.220.148.3:8013/MGIS_2/Que...Accessions.htm) I found two entries:

Pisang Kates, acquired in 1985 at Philippines BPI site; accession # DAV0218.
Musa Kates, at Indonesia SOLOK site, ABB genetics; accession # RIF0144.

It is a Fe'i banana, where the fruit bunch points upwards "to the heavens". Here is the Publication: BANANA CULTIVAR NAMES AND SYNONYMS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA

The second attachment is a photo of a Karat Banana from Pohnpei. It's the closest thing I can find to the Pisang Kates.

Wishing you luck & hope that there will be a positive resurgence of this banana.
Heaven knows there are plenty of 'helping hands' (if you need them)here to aid you with this comeback!

Hello Pisang

Welcome to the banana sanctuary. I'm sure you did the right thing by joining this forum. There is not much I can say as I am a newcomer to this site. But I have collected so much information in 3 days it's just unbelievable. Keep posting and asking.
Good luck!
