The hybrid FHIA-03 'Sweet Heart' is a dwarf cooking banana of the "Bluggue" type. 'Sweet Heart' banana is a tetraploid that does not produce seed. It is a short strong plant that can support 110 lbs. of fruit without anything propping it up. This hybrid is resistant to the Panama disease fungus, Black Sigatoka Fungus and to the Moko wilt bacteria. FHIA-03 can produce in poor soils and is tolerant to prolonged periods of drought. It can be adapted to higher altitudes too.
