I agree with your Cavendish opinion, I think it's a shame that it is happening, and there's not much that really can be done to prevent many of the problems associated with the Cav. I have an Orinoco and a Raja Puri that should fruit next summer. Hopefully, they will mature enough before the first frost.

Here in my neck of the woods, we only get Cav's, Dwarf Red's, and plantains in the grocery store. I just made some excellent Tostones last week for the first time.

The article mentioned the problems with the Gros Michel in the '50s and it's history. It mentioned how the Big Mike was a much better tasting fruit than the Cav. also.
