To your second paragraph:

Bananas are not going to die out. The Cavendish likely will, but they'll just get another type of banana to replace it with. Of course, that doesn't mean that particular type will be immune to disease, but we have a long ways to go before there are no more bananas in the world, period.

I hope you're right! I don't even eat bananas but they're like one of the top food items in the world and a lot of people depend on them for survival not to mention livelihoods. But really, how quickly can a crop *that huge* be replaced by a new strain? IDK. Everything I've read / heard about it is pretty dour and not very hopeful. (I want you to be right, though.)

Da

Manzano bananas, man. They're smaller and sweeter than Cavendish bananas and IMO a million times better. Problem is, they're small, like half the size or less of a Cavendish banana, and their skins need to get practically black before they're ripe. But holy crap if you've ever had a good ripe Manzano you will seriously look down on the Cavendish as the inferior banana.

But what about us people who like to eat their bananas mostly green? I start going 'meh' at a yellow banana, and once it's got a spot or two, we're done - hate 'em! Into the freezer for banana bread.

Is the Manzano any good green?
