Abstract

Adi is a selection of the ancestral banana line Zelig, which belongs to Musa acuminata cv. Cavendish. When compared to its ancestral line, ‘Adi’ shows the following characteristics: 1. Dwarf-like stature, 2. Wider girth size, 3. Higher fruit yield, 4. Longer fruit size (“fingers”), 5. Higher levels of sucrose and starch in the pulp, 6. Tolerance to windy conditions.

1. ‘Adi’, a new and distinct selection of banana plant, substantially as illustrated and described, which is a dwarf stature plant, with wider girth size, higher fruit yield, longer fruit (“fingers”) and higher sugar content in the pulp.
