I just found something on the ebay. It says that they are selling seeds of dwarf cavendish. I thought that dwarf cavendish was seedless? Is there some scenario in wihich dwarf cavendish produces seeds? Could a person cross a basjoo to a dwarf cavendish? Would the progeny be seedless in the f2 generation? Has anybody tried this to get coldhardiness into edible bananas? Am I missing something here? Are coldhardy and edible bananas genetically compatible? So many question and so few answers.
