Hi Jeffrey, Long time no see! By the way, I'm still alive and tempering with my banana plants. The weather over here in mainland Japan is too cold for my experiments so I moved my plants to a warmer climate, Okinawa. Now the cold weather will not kill my plants 'cause the climate is Okinawa is subtropical and we grow bananas all year round. I have grafted citrus fruits producing hybrids, so the root stock can affect the scion for sure, it's a fact! I have calamansi lemons producing hybrids right here in my orchard. My grafted bananas survived the winter but are not producing fruits, yet. LOL!
