Gabe,
This quote was from a banana breeeding exchange between you and Dr. Steve a while back.
I'm running a Google search: "breeding bananas site:
Bananas.org - International Banana Society
I think I might have briefly inquired of Dr. Steve & he told me that he's not breeding bananas again.
I gather that you've been on ths list for a while; are technically adept; and might be attached to a university in Hawaii.
Are you involved in breeding (conventionally or otherwise) bananas? What is your banana collection like? From the archives at bananas.org I see you have extensive material.
thanks,
shannon
