Any difference noted in fruiting, or quality of fruit...TC vs natural division? I was into Hosta twenty-something years ago. Grew over 230 cultivars...NONE from TC. Hosta were notoriously unstable from TC at that time, and many of the TC releases did not do justice to the stock from "pups". But, Hosta are prone to "sport". TC screening may have improved big time,..in the long interim? How stable are Musa & Ensete..?
