Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Pego Rice <firekeeper38@yahoo.com>]

I can buy a number of non-Cavendish bananas from around this country, including the luscious Blue Java.  For cultivating the cold-hardy yet fruit-bearing, there are several landscaping strains that might be out-crossed with some of the tastier Musa available.  Try looking at some of the Musa hobbyists discussions.  You may not ever get a commercially viable banana, but you may at least get a variety that produces something tasty and is a good tradable variety.
