As for outcrossing. Ill use Basjoo as an example again. Does this mean that they are waiting for another species of bananas pollen? Would this not create some hybrids?

Outcrossing/outbreeding just means it is trying to make seed with another individual of the same species. It is the opposite of inbreeding, where a plant fertilizes itself. It could be with a different species, but the assumption is that it is with a different individual plant of the same species.
