Re: Potted banana has a shoot

Re: Finally got my first two banana plants

Re: Does nutrition vary between banana types?
I did this and found an article on the growth of different banana breeds but it did not include any nutritional info. Mayhaps you might have a link? Or the name of the paper for me to google scholar?
