Default Re: Grafting Mature Banana Pups

Hello. I know this is an old thread, but i just wanted to throw in my 2 cents. i don't know if this is accurate, but i have heard that the Ae Ae banana is a case where the meristem containes two different kinds of cells, and that as the plant ggrows, each type of cell produces it's color. If that is the case, then couldn't you theoretically vrate a "blend" banana plant? not realyy a hybrid or a graft, but like the ae ae where the two different genotypes are mixed. perhaps you could do this on a microscopic scale with tissue culture, take meristem from different species and fuse it together before growing it out into a plant.
