This type of thing interest me. The real mahoi is extinct because of why? Is it due to bunchy to virus? When I was in Hawaii for work a few years ago on the big island the banana virus was really reeking havoc there. If so is it possible that someone may have this plant on the mainland? How long has the double mahoi been extinct? Hope I did not hijack this thread too much. Thanks,
Paulo
