Hi All,

Just watched both these videos and learned a lot about fruit diversity and the
problems of bringing new varieties to the general market place. Especially
interesting was the threat to bananas that have a history of disease problems.
We see this in apples, but fortunately we have had plenty of alternative varieties
to replace problematic ones.

It would be nice if this Canadian source can do a series on non-tropical fruits.
We certainly have a lot of interesting things growing in the northern climates
like pawpaws and various berries. I'm sure we have our share of fruit explorers
here in the north that would warrant a tv series.
