Default Re: What did you plant today (bananas)?

I suspected you of making up the "Poovan" banana, so I googled it. OK! I admit I have a suspiscious nature. Anyway, it seems to be from Sri Lanka and southern India, w/ decent sized, sweet, bright yellow fruit, but I couldn't find a picture. It sounds interesting.
Also some negative stuff:
"it is highly susceptible to Banana Bract Mosaic Viral (BBMV) disease and Banana Streak Virus, (BSV), which cause considerable reduction in yield."
Do we have those diseases in the US?
