Hi all, I don't actually have this banana, I found it listed on pro musa and noted whilst there are heaps of fei varieties there seem to be very few crossovers between fei and a/b bananas so from a gene pov it interested me. My collection of bananas is currently limited to 10 edibles most of which you'd call common. In wa the only legal way to get bananas in is tc from a government approved lab using fully screened meristem. These people are industry focused and see backyard growers and collectors as diseased plant growers. They only sell the plants very reluctantly. Im hoping to get 6 more varieties out of them this year after much hassling. I am also going to try germinating some cold hardy seeded types this summer as well. Will upload pics soon.
