WHAT IS PLANIFOLIA VANILLA

Planifolia vanilla , also known as Bourbon vanilla in the Indian Ocean , is the most cultivated variety in the world. Originally from Mexico, it extends from Mexico to Paraguay via Asia and even to France. In the press we read that vanilla lovers grow vanilla in their veranda.  

Madagascar is the world's leading producer of this variety, which represents 95% of world production . Here are some details about growing Planifolia vanilla: 

  • Cultivation  : Planifolia vanilla is an epiphytic plant which clings to trees thanks to its adventitious roots. It has cylindrical stems and small tough branches which develop into very long vines.
  • Flowering  : The flowers, gathered in groups of 8 to 10, resemble those of many orchids. They are fragrant and white or yellow-green in color. Vanilla flowers in autumn-winter between September and January, depending on the growing zone. The flowering period usually lasts about a month.
  • Harvest  : The green pods will take about a month after fertilization to reach their final size, up to 30 cm. They will then take 8 to 9 months to mature before being picked.

You should know that unlike the tahitensis variety, this vanilla will open when fully ripe. While vanilla tahitensis does not open after the last two weeks of ripening, the planifolia variety must be harvested before full maturity.

Green Papuan vanilla pods like bourbon vanilla pods must be pods that will open if you leave too much on the vanilla plant.

The vanilla plant only gives vanillin during the last two weeks on the foot, it's incredible isn't it?  

In this video, I explain to you in 2020, the difference between its two vanillas.

PLANIFOLIA VANILLA FROM PAPUA NEW GUINEA AND ITS HISTORY

Vanilla planifolia , which is produced in Papua, is a valuable orchid used to produce vanilla. Originally from Central America, it is today mainly cultivated in the Indian Ocean, particularly in Madagascar, Reunion and the Comoros. Here are some key points about this vanilla variety: 

  1. Description :

    • Vanilla planifolia is a flexible, lightly branched vine. It develops by growth of the terminal bud and can attack its support for more than ten meters.  
    • The ovary is inferior, and there is no floral pedicel.
    • The flowers have a tab (rostellum) between the stigma and the anther, and there are about 20 flowers per inflorescence.
    • Its fruit is a capsule.

  2. Taste :

    • Papua New Guinea vanilla has a warm and delicate scent, very floral, with subtle touches of cocoa.  
    • On the palate, we detect spicy notes reminiscent of nutmeg or cinnamon, with a sweet background reminiscent of a cookie, as well as fruity nuances of strawberries and blueberries.

  3. Culture :

    • The vanilla tree needs a warm (between 20 and 30°C) and humid tropical climate.
    • It climbs along supports using aerial roots.
    • Natural pollination is carried out by bees specialized in foraging on orchids, notably the species Euglossa viridissima . 
    • In growing regions lacking these bees, pollination is carried out manually.

  4. Variety :

    • Papua New Guinea vanilla can be either a Vanilla Tahitensis variety (Tahitian variety) or a Vanilla Planifolia variety .     
    • It is different from its sister Tahitian vanilla, with a pepperier and spicier flavor.
