I think it would be fun to try out some banana breeding just to see what happens. I guess I will try and find some information on which ones are known to be fertile and then see if I can acquire them. I did find to PDFs that talk about it somewhat maybe I can get some helpful info their. I still need to read them though.

Hey if you ever come across some information that could be useful about banana breading, like which are fertile, let me know.

I did find some information on Yangambi KM5. It is both male and female fertile but all progenies produce abnormal leaves and/or erect and semi erect bunches.
