Default Re: Cavendish replacement efforts

All good points from everyone so far on this topic. Maybe it's just because we all (I assume) would like to try different varieties but I would think that if more variety were offered to get the American public used to the idea that there are other types of bananas out there, that that would help if we ever do reach the point where the Cavendish isn't readily available anymore. That way, some folks will have hopefully already tried one of the other types. Sure, they may not ever be as popular, but I would think that people would rather have some kind of banana as opposed to no bananas! Again, maybe it's just me, but I love variety. I'd be so happy to start seeing three or four different types of bananas offered instead of just the Cavendish. How boring would it be if we could only get Red Delicious apples? Personally, I can't stand RD apples; I much prefer Galas and Fujis! To each his own, I guess.
