Default Re: A new Banana where you eat the skin n all.

The plant looks consistent with a dwarf gros michel and gros michel do not have seeds. In many countries the word for banana plant/sucker/pup/offshoot translates into English as 'seed'.

I think the article I read said it took over 40 years and 4 million dollars to successfully find a banana that would grow in a greenhouse.
