Default Re: legal tetraploids for cross breeding?

Once you cross two Musas to produce seeds, the question is whether the offspring will be seeded. If you grow it out and find that it is seeded, you'll then have the task of re-crossing to produce a sterile hybrid. A seeded banana is inedible -- or at best a difficult culinary task.
