They are way better than the usual Cavendish bananas sold.

That's very helpful. Recently at one of the Farmers Markets I attend, there have been peoples from North Africa asking for bananas of that description. I'd like to learn more about the plants in terms of p-stem height, bunch size, etc. If they grow in Crete, then they likely grow here.
