Wanted: FHIA-21 plantain in South Florida.

I'm looking for an authentic FHIA-21 plant, I am located in Hollywood, Florida. I have been looking online for this variety and it is like trying to find a unicorn in the wild..

I checked the Going Bananas website for the 21 and they only list a FHIA-25, I do not believe that it gets sweet enough to make fried maduros when ripe from what I read, so the 21 is what I am looking for. I already have a PR dwarf plantain.

Talk about trying to find a unicorn in the wild, it's impossible to find a PR dwarf plantain in Puerto Rico. The FHIA-21 is quite common on the island.
