Ok so I've been selling stuff on here and life gets busy sometimes and I'm still clueless about the differences of Pisangs, Mysores, cavendishes...
AAA ABB AAB AA ...etc..can anyone point me to a place I can learn, rather...quickly about these?
Much thanks!

Not sure about the differences, but the Letters show what ancestry the plant has if I am not mistaken. You can get info about the genetic background, and maybe different traits, and what proportion of them? By looking at these letters. For example more A's = sweeter, more B's = starchier, due to different proportions of ancestor genomes. Can anyone confirm what I just wrote?.

The WIKI on here gives you a basic idea.
The Kepler and Rust book is also "some very good reads".
Something to keep in mind for all people not living in the tropics: the more AA genes a plant has ( for example the Cavendish types) the less tolerant the plant is to cold.
