TreeCropper Issue 51 – September 2007

Front cover:
As seen during an NZTCA 2007 Conference field trip to the West Auckland property of Wade and Jenny Cornell, a banana flower setting fruit.
The type of banana is generally called a “sugar-type banana” as compared with the tropical commercial “Cavendish type banana”.
The variety is either Misi, Luki or Hamoa, there is no observable difference.
The sugar-type bananas have much more flavour and are more rich and creamy. They are not used commercially in the tropics as their production is less per hectare.
They ripen more easily in subtropical conditions whereas the Cavendish require more tropical conditions.
