Default Re: Gros Michel

Couldn't we pool the board's demand for the Gros Michel and ask a tc company to produce some for us? Surely they either have cultures of one in storage or would be able to get their hands on one, and if so, they'd be able to supply all of us with disease-free tc's.

Am I correct in thinking that the reason tc companies don't currently offer Gros Michel is that there's a lack of demand for it, as opposed to an inability for the companies to obtain starting material?
