Look in the forum 'Banana for sale'. Send PMs to the thread authors.
Also, pukpukz or Nicolas Naranja may have what you want. Send them a PM.
I've read that Cal-Gold has been successfully grown & fruited in Seattle. The Orinoco that I have eaten and grown are sweet with slight apple flavor and nice texture. Among the Orinoco varieties, there may be some flavor differences, but this I'm not sure of. ... There may be 'better tasting' banana varieties but those tend to be more labor intensive and difficult to grow in Zone 8. So don't pay any attention the the self-appointed Banana Police on the forum. Makeup your own mind.
