For those reasons and many more we will uncover with this thread, it's extremely important to pick and choose your banana plants carefully.
A lot of people go from having one plant to two plants to ten and those 8 at one time may not be researched, they're often just obtained because of the ease to obtain them.
Yep Jarred, it's cute when you get hybrids by planting a whole lot of stuff together but it's ain't cute when an environment gets screwed after a couple of decades. If you don't see it, you won't feel it.

Conservation means not letting it happen, not trying to stop it after it has happened.
