Thank you Banana Commander and Tog Tan!  |
There is only a problem in growing them if you have panama disease in your area, in which case there are many bananas that are just as hard to grow. If you don't have panama disease in your soil, then you can grow it just like any other variety. The plant is not extinct or rare as some would have you believe, it is just not grown as the #1 export banana anymore.
