Thanks for your kind words.
When I first heard Dan's epic stories of the Chini Champa, I pull up some research papers that stated it was a very popular AAB Mysore that originated in India.
Later I heard Dan's epic stories of the Pisang Klotec and it's journey from a Sri Lanka tissue culture lab to the United States of America but couldn't find any research paper about it.
I'm a simple farmer so I simply contacted some banana research scientists and tissue culture labs in Sri Lanka to learn more about this epic banana.
If you are truly interested in the epic Chini Champa, I would recommend starting by researching blogs & message boards. Then if needed contact some banana research scientists and tissue culture labs in India.
A great thing about banana scientists is that they are thrilled to have their work acknowledge and love to talk bananas with anybody bananas about bananas.
I'm always impressed with the tenor, style, and word choice of your writings and grateful of the time and effort you put into your posts as evidenced by the quality of its content!

Your style and word choice can seem unnecessarily combative, and I know that you don't want to be perceived that way. If nothing else is apparent in one's participation in this Internet forum, it is that common names such as Chini Champa can and will be applied loosely within the regions from which bananas are ultimately derived, and then that loose nomenclature will be promulgated by the uneducated masses of which I am firmly a part. I'm sorry. We just don't know any better.
