Edible bananas are "parthenocarpic", which means they make fruit without pollination or fertilization of the ovules.

Bananas_are_awesome

Is there a list of all species that are counted to be parthenocarpic?
Because I found this information everywhere, that all "edible" bananas make fruit without pollination.
But I also found the information that all bananas are edible, in the sense that you won`t get sick or die, no toxins. Some are just not palatable or worth it.

which brings me back to what species are counted as parthenocarpic?
