I'll do both nothing and everything.
Eventually I will settle on some bananas that I want for ornamental value AND some others that I expect to produce fruit. Those, the fruit producers, will be managed just like any other crop.
I think selecting for fruiting has as much to do with the time of year that you select the pup to what you feed and water them. I hope that within 6-7 years I'll have a system in place that will prety much guarantee me fruit every year. I know that can be done with the Orinocos and I'm hopeful that I can do the same with some of the better flavored ones.
