Nick,

One day this summer I stopped by the local Winn Dixie and found Platano Hawaiiano, the Hua Moa. They were still green in color but somwhat soft to the touch. I bought some anyway and just like you said they cooked up mushy and I did not like the taste. My sister in law likes the in-between regular platanos but I can't stand them. They are good completely green or fully ripe (black skin), period.
So it looks like you got a liner from Agristarts. You are absolutely on the money about avoiding diseases by introducing only tissue culture plants to your field. I got a susceptable Manzano from a reputable source and I'm hoping that it does not pick something up from the neighbors plants.
