I read a very interesting paper that compared suckers and tissue cultures from mother plants grown in a stressed environment to suckers and tissue cultures from mother plants grown in a "normal" environment, they studied all 4 types from multiple cultivars in both environments.


A little reading can saves years of "trial and error".
Could you post a link to that study please?

SSP--what banana cultivar did you finally select, and what was your experience with that?

Thanks,
