Hey Gerry, hope you are well and staying covid free.
banana grow from suckers, commercially they are breed using tissue culture and the whole show is highly regulated because of disease concerns like Panama which could wipe out the entire banana industry. So you can only buy licensed suckers from certain nurseries.
This is a Cavendish, once we move (sometime this year) we will be looking at putting in a couple of different varieties like the Senorita (monkey banana).
Amazing! Did you grow from seed or cutting? What strain is it?
I remember seeing bananas wild in QLD but not edible as far as I knew.
