What was the cost for the testing and where did you get it done?

The overnight shipping was expensive $78.00, but the cost of the tests was only $60.00. AC Diagnostics performed the testing service.

Default Goldfinger bunch has spots and seems to ripening far too soon

When replanting new plants you might want to sterilize the ground to make sure there will not be any virus or such transmitted to new plants.

Viruses normally cannot be transferred by planting new plants in the same soil as an infected plant, and definitely not any common viruses that affect banana. Furthermore, sterilizing soil in the ground is a very cumbersome and damaging process, and doesn't even work for the most serious soil-borne pathogen of banana, Pamama Wilt.
