Edible bananas aren't pollinated; those boy flowers on a DC are just for show. Or a glimpse of a memory of what was...

But of course you can mix up different varieties as long as the seeded papa Musa isn't shooting blanks.

Edited to better explain. A mule (male) is sterile; a jenny (female) is not nor are most male equines (studs). Orincos are jennys; Velutinas are studs. With help they should be able to mix it up.
