2nd new flowering of Helen's hybrid
Following up to the first flowering of Helen's hybrid as previously posted,
2nd new flowering of this banana began. This is the first hand, all of which were hand pollinated by the pollen taken from the first flower still flowering. This is the second hand consisting of 8 fingers which were hand pollinated Basjoo pollen. Wonder what will happen. This is the third hand consisting of 8 fingers. The stigmas of 4 fingers were clipped off to examine parthenocarpy and the rest of 4 fingers were left untouched to perform natural pollination. Quite unfortunately the forth hands were neutral flowers, and it is quite strange that this big banana tree produces such small amount of bananas. Anyway for this reason no further experiments could not be performed. |
