Here in the Florida Panhandle there has been a "Passalong" Banana that is ubiquitous in yards here. I've heard that it is a Cavandish but since no one I Know's ever got one to reach RIpening...who KNows?
I am goingto try some of the "tricks" mentioned here and in regional publications to get one to Fruit here in z8b(other than just being on a waiting list for 'Vente Cohol';>), as well as(at least) an FHIA-23...
Cheers,
Pat
