Try emailing to set up an in person appointment with Going Bananas in Homestead, FL (they only sell in person nowadays). They're superstars in the banana world and have been in the business of growing them for decades. They do list Nino as one of their more limited varieties:
Welcome to Going Bananas of Homestead, Florida!
That place looks fantastic. It's about a five hour drive one way for us central Florida bros though.
