Here is one of mine. Not sure what species it is but it is huge! I've not seen a bannana plant around here bigger and yeild as well...perhaps someone can identify it.

Pisang Mas = Gluai Kai
The common and very tasty banana in Thailand: Namwah

I don't know the thai name of the others. I doubt you will find Fehi bananas in TH.

In Bangkok there a sources for very interesting bananas, but they are all named in thai. Here you can fin plants:

If you are thinking of importing plants, please, please, please, pay attention to diseases! Sicily is a banana growing zone with what seems at least an endemic banana, and it would be a pity that everything went destroyed because of imported disease or pests.
Also, some of the plant you list are already in europe, no need to import them again.

I want to buy/trade central asia apricots. Contact me in PM if interested.

"Brazilian. The fruit is subacid and of poor quality; it has little to recommend it as a dessert banana, and its acceptance in Hawaii seems to be a good example of the power of need and habit in influencing the demands of a market." - Norman Simmonds
