Chironex

Hey Pauly, so glad you started this thread. We can reference it for our research. It stands to reason that if we can keep them growing, eventually, a sport might develop that will have more heat/humidity tolerant characteristics. The only question is how many years will we have to wait....could be years, could be a few generations. I have no idea.
Has anyone heard of genome research on bananas? What traits does Mysore have that make it most heat tolerant? Is there a banana that is more drought resistant? Is there a banana that prefers more alkaline soil types like we have in LV? Can bananas be grafted? Just some thoughts that might help in our research.
It might be a good idea to plant next to a large shade tree in LV to offer some protection and increase localized humidity by decreasing evaporation in the immediate area.
Thinking out loud here, but comments are welcomed.
