Default Re: Musa Mysore self fertile?

Get a Pisang Ceylon or Pisang Klotek, they're the same thing as Mysore but without the BSV issues (that can spread to your other plants and cause trouble). All I can say is that you're fortunate to live in SD, Jon (pitangadiego) has probably the most extensive banana collection in the region, and he has all three of those varieties, I believe. Drop him a line and you should be able to get your hands on one. It says that he has Pisang Ceylon available right now, I would ask him about that. Here's his website:
