Abstract: This new and distinct variety of banana plant has the following unique combination of desirable features:1. High level of resistance to both the yellow Sigatoka leaf spot disease (Mycosphaerella musicola) and the black Sigatoka leaf spot disease (Mycosphaerella fijiensis).2. Practical immunity to both races 1 and 4 of Panama disease (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense).3. A strong root system which makes it a hardy plant under marginal water and soil conditions.4. Cold tolerant - plant remains green under cold conditions which cause the reference "Williams" Cavendish variety to turn a yellowish color.5. Excellent green life of fruit after harvest which renders it suitable for export.6. Sliced or diced green and ripe fruit does not oxidize to an unsightly brownish color as does the fruit of the Cavendish export clones.7. Pleasant slightly tart flavor when ripe.8. Peel of harvested green fruit turns yellow when left to ripen under ambient conditons without ethylene treatment.

Abstract: As compared with the reference False Horn plantain variety, this new and distinct variety of plantain (genus Musa, interspecific hybrid) plant has the following unique combination of desirable features:1. Leaves are resistant to the black Sigatoka leaf spot disease (Mycosphaerella fijiensis) which is a very serious disease on False Horn.2. Fruits are straighter and the peels have a lighter green color than those of False Horn.3. Fruit sizes (length and diameter) are similar to those of False Horn when the recommended practice of pruning the bunch to leave only 5 hands for development is followed.4. Total fingers per bunch and bunch weights at maturity are about double (even when the bunch is pruned to leave 5 hands) those of False Horn.5. Fried green chips have a very good flavor and are slightly softer than those of False Horn.6.
