Don't give up hope. VC is a bad choice for raising your own bananas also because, even in good conditions, it makes very small bunches of small fruit, i.e., very little of your favorite fruit. If I were you, I'd get a Dwarf Namwah. They are about as indestructible as you will find in an edible banana plant and they make big bunches of tasty fruit.
