Do fe'i bananas get bbtv? I haven't read anything that mentioned this specifically, and I thought maybe, because they are the most genetically distant cultivated bananas...

They can get it and are very sensitive, and because they take so long to grow they are particuarly difficult to have them remain healthy enough to fruit if you are in a high pressure area.

Are those Fe'i bananas in your profile picture? (I guess not since the stem isn't straight)

They are not fe'i, but are a wild species that is of the type fe'i was domesticated from. Not all fe'i have totally straight and erect bunches, some have erect bunches but pendant or horizontal rachis.
