An Inference of Species of a very cold-hardy Banana
Hi Friends,
One of my banana friends gave me an unidentified banana pup, telling me that this banana was very cold-hardy and could overwinter even without any protections in our zone 9. The first pic shows how I protected it for oveerwintering. The second pic shows how it overwintered and how it is now. It successfully overwintered and sprouted new leaves. It was so strong that I began to start infering the species of this banana even knowing it is entirely difficult to do so before I knew many more factors by which inference f shall first be possible. The is a story which gave me a hint if this banana could be that species. More than 50 years ago, an emigrant from Okinawa Islands to Brazil brought back a banana called "Stanta Catarina Prata" into Okinawa from where the banana had been intoduced to the southern parts of Japan. Now I understand Stanta catarina is a cultiver of Musa Brazilian which is cold hardy, and this is the main reason why I infer this banana could be Santa Catarina Prata. Stan [/IMG] |

Very nice, Stan!
Interesting story, sounds like it could be possible.

Re: An Inference of Species of a very cold-hardy Banana
Prata Ana, Santa Catarina Prata, Dwarf Brazilian, and Dwarf Hawaiian Apple are all the same thing. This cultivar is recognized as having redish/pinkish petioles when young.

Re: An Inference of Species of a very cold-hardy Banana
Thanks all of you for your valued comments.
Bigdog, yes I had once been keeping a German "bigdog" in there, and this is the ruin of his playground. |
