Although the State of Georgia produces many fruits such as, apples, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, grapes and peaches, bananas have never been considered an economic crop. This is probably because of marginal weather condition for bananas and massive imports from Central and South America. This study, which is in its third year, continually evaluates 32 banana cultivars and determines their suitability for production, marketing, and distribution in Georgia. |

In many parts of the world bananas are a staple food, while in other regions they are a highly valued ornamental plant. Bananas are the fourth most important food crop in the world, and they are also used in many other ways—every part of the plant has value. In addition to the standard dessert bananas, there is another group of species in the banana genus that are much less known in the United States but offer some wonderful options as landscape plants. This group of banana species is known as ornamental bananas. This paper sheds some light on ornamental banana cultivars that provide a tropical atmosphere to gardens in the Southeast region of the United States. |

Annual cropping production (ACP) is a technique used worldwide to target favorable market conditions. This technique has allowed commercial banana production outside the traditional production belt such as South Africa, Thailand, Israel, and China. In 2003 an evaluation of thirty-three cultivars was initiated near Savannah, Georgia to determine their suitability for ornamental, nursery, and ACP for niche/ethnic markets under Georgia weather conditions. In South Georgia and other temperate regions around the world, the pseudostems are normally killed to ground level during most winters. However, excellent plant growth rate, good flowering, and limited commercial fruit production was observed. Identifying one or more cultivars with potential to produce... |

Tissue-culture propagated "Chicksaw" blackberry plants were set four feet apart in April of 2000 as part of a five-year trellising trial near Reidsville, Georgia. There were five treatments: an untrellised control, posts with plastic baling string on both sides, posts and three vertical wires, "raspberry" V trellis, and Limited Arm-Rotation Shift-Trellis (eliminated in 2003). There were four replications with twenty feet for each treatment per replication, for a total of 80 feet per treatment. Primocanes were tipped at 3.5 to four feet and re-tipped several times during the summer when new growth exceeded about 12 inches. Mature plant height at the end of the growing season was about five feet. Starting in the third growing season, yield data was collected... |

The development of the annual cropping production system (ACP) and more cold-tolerant cultivars has allowed commercial banana production outside the traditional production belt. This evaluation of 32 cultivars was initiated to determine the feasibility and suitability of Annual Cropping Production (ACP) for niche/ethnic markets under Georgia weather conditions; determine the growth performance, fruit quality, and marketability; and determine which cultivars have sufficient cold hardiness for ornamental landscape use. |
