I don't see why one would think it impossible, I just hope if it is done on a commercial scale - PLEASE not the average Cavendish! I myself grow bananas, tons of varieties, way out here in northwest Washington, (probably the worse place besides Alaska) but honestly when I start offering fruits to the locals, I certainly wouldn't want to let them down with the same 'ol Gran Nain they get from the store. Yes, it's fresher, without any pesticides/herbicides/fungicides, more ripe, and without underpaid labor, but . . . Come'on, you can do better than commercial variety. That's like offering typical red tomatoes to a city without the ability to grow such, when hey, there's hundreds of heirlooms out there that are way cooler and better tasting.
