Would it be possible to grow bananas locally from the seed tip (provided you have a controlled growing environment)?
Also, seeing as these are clones.... Is there any way to breed this species of banana for more variety.
- marcosdumay 9y agoSome varieties of banana do rarely breed. IFAIK, cavendish doesn't. I just don't get why people want to import only that variety. It's not great any any way besides being easy to package. Transportation is quite fast nowadays, it shouldn't be that big a problem.
- maxerickson 9y agoIt's not people, it's "the system". Faster transportation costs more and they have to be shipped before they are ripe and then triggered to ripen in time for sale. And then while they are for sale they probably do better if they are attractive and consistent and known by the consumer.
