Default Matoke Banana
An account I follow on Instagram claims to have brought the first Matoke Banana to the USA from Africa. If this is incorrect, who (from the US) on the forum grows Matoke? I also see that our wiki doesn't have any info on it.

I know this guy. He is in Phoenix, AZ. Been a three year project. That I remember him talking about when he started. Name is Don Olson. Sells through Shamus O'Leary's Tropical Fruit. I've been debating about going down and buying one from him.
