The Bananas of Upland East Africa - Muleba Project Nursery

Mature bananas with severe wind damage

Muleba District, August 1989.

The Nursery was planted in late 1987.

As with the Ibura Nursery it was in newly cleared land. [see local view]

First impressions, in March 1988, were good with nearly all varieties germinated and healthy.

This second visit showed that the site really was too exposed and susceptible to drought.
