Hey gaberec,
I'm sorry about that. Going-Bananas is more of an old fashioned mail order nursery. They are a great seller, but their website does not show real time inventory. I've read several posts of people trying to order something from them that their website said they had, but Going-Bananas told them they were sold out. It seems that their website does not update, and they have several varieties listed as "N/A" or "Not Available" for several years. The best thing to do is, as you've done, to email them to see if they have your variety in stock. There are other nurseries as well. Although they have had mixed reactions on bananas.org, I have had great experiences with Florida Hill Nursery which does sell Siam Ruby and Viente Cohol. I definitely recommend them. pisang susu, pisang klotek or seņorita are admittedly hard to find in the mainland US unfortunately.
I'm not really well versed on this, but my understanding is that pisang klotek, Pisang ceylon and mysore are all very similar and closely related. Mysore is relatively easy to find, but it has problems with a virus called Banana Streak Virus (BSV) that has actually incorporated itself into the plant's genome. The end result is that the plant can spontaneously start experiencing the virus infection, especially if it becomes stressed (heat, drought, disease, cold etc.). The only way to prevent this is to get the Mysore type that doesn't have the virus in it's genome, either the Pisang ceylon or the Pisang klotek. There are a lot of members that have had good luck with Mysore as well, hopefully maybe someone with more experience can weigh in on this. Hope this helps! Good luck with your search!
