Default 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.

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.

Yes, it is visible that to pulp very little and seeds very large. But experience with pollination has passed the main thing successfully.
