Re: Tissue Culture
Dean, keep in mind that TC'ing a banana requires the original pseudostem to be destroyed. We dissect the apical meristem from the base of the pseudostem. You might be able to re-grow from the corm.
There is always a risk of contamination in TC work, however small the percentage (Less than 2% hopefully), so always keep a back-up, just in case. I have several Ensete perrieri seeds in germination, so if I get a decent germination rate, I plan to TC one of them.
