Dr Mike Smith, Murwillumbah horticultural consultant David Peasley and Chinese academic Lyu Wang admire a new banana strain.
THE unusual FLF1 type banana profiled last week is not a known Honduran variety, as originally reported.
Its origins of this new type are currently under investigation on the Tweed.
Researchers, like David Peasley from Murwillumbah, are excited about the plant’s apparent ability to produce in disease-contaminated soil.
