My first banana, Many years ago, was a GM from St. Lucia. This was about the time that commercial growers worldwide were switching from Gros Michel to Gran Nain. (I guess they forgot to tell the St. Lucia growers.) I had it in front of some glass patio doors, in a room that had a drop ceiling. After a short time it was pushing the tiles out of the ceiling. We gave it to my wife's boss, who had an indoor pool. He actually got fruit on it!
