Great explanations, Gabe. Your descriptions make perfect sense to me, but then I have the benefit of a degree in horticulture and some plant breeding classes as well, so I can see how it could be confusing to the layman, as Kevin mentioned.

Kevin, I don't think you have to worry about any banana being toxic. It seems like you now have a good understanding of the working definition of what we mean by edible and non-edible bananas. Which cultivars are you attempting up in Canada?
