The fruits between Helen's and Basjoo
Here are the first harvests of the fruits between Helen's and Basjoo.
As you can see, the fruit itself is not a hybrid but the embryo is. As the growth of the mother plant was extremely slow and weak, the size of the fruits is particularly small and the number is little. Although it has been said that the taste of the fruits is very sweety, my fruits tasted slightly a little sweeter than velutina, and the advertisement of Helen's hybrid might have been a bit exaggerated. The flesh was too little to really taste. I do lookforward to what would come out from these hybrid seeds. |

Re: The fruits between Helen's and Basjoo
Following up to the previous threads, I tried to taste a fully ripe fruit of
Helen's hybrid and now I want to correct what I wrote about the taste of this banana. The taste of a fully ripe fruit is considerablly sweet and there is no problem in regard to its taste. However the biggest problem is the number of the seeds that disturb the taste of the fruit. So simple innovation of a seedless technique using vegetable hormone or something is anticipated. |

Re: The fruits between Helen's and Basjoo
Yes, it is visible that to pulp very little and seeds very large. But experience with pollination has passed the main thing successfully.
