Musa ‘Pacovan’
Fruit Banana
Similarly to the cultivars Musa ‚Maçã’ and 'Prata', grows also about 10 feet tall. It belongs probably to the group AAB and to the section Musa. It is grown mainly for the Brazilian market like also Musa ‚Maçã’ and 'Prata', it is exported scarely.
It is drought resistant and wind tolerant, takes cooler temperatures.
Until now it is not introducted to Europe and Germany yet, the culture is like Musa ‚Maçã’ and 'Prata'.
Since 16th September 2009 I have this cultivar in my yard. Best thanks to Helton Josué and his wife.
