The Carolina King was a banana plant that was grown in the Sandhills and Coastal regions of NC. around the early 1900s and earlier. but seem to have dropped off the map of cultivatars today so they may be like other plants they were just replaced by another plant.

Salut Cesar,
Temporairement.... Don't want people to have to look at me Too long !
I will likely change it back, tomorrow. Bonne nuit, mon ami . Doux Reves!

I'm certain Jack's right. Bananas are Very mutable plants & fairly adaptive. Given decades of mutation & adaption, Texas Star & Carolina King Very likely contain a unique genome. As for myself, I'll be looking for nanners of Exactly that name - And Hopefully wind up with both !

You know, in the end I'm lucky I'm so young. Give it 3 decades and I will be able to overwinter edibles outside. Either they will mutate, or we won't have so harsh winters.
Whoaaa. No really, I'm slow right now, but once I get more nanaas with superior hardiness and have lots of plants, the experiments will start. Lots of them, lots of cultivars...

GreenEarth Inc is where I have ordered my bananas--they seem to be pretty good and reputable. The problem with common names is that anyone can give a plant a new name. I have read that the CA Gold is a variant of Orinoco that was found to be exceptionally cold tolerant. My Orinocos have survived some pretty extreme cold (the corms) with record cold here of 7F and 10F in 1990 and 1983 respectively. I have one blooming now that made it thru mid 20s three times last winter without protection.
