Default Re: What are your favorite banana plants for fruit and for looks?

Marc, where did you get your Gros Michele? I have read that years ago they used to be the main banana that was sold in the grocery stores but were wiped out by panama disease. Not sure if that is true or not. I have always wanted to try growing one but they are not that readily available from most banana growers. Going Bananas doesn't even have them listed. I have also heard of a dwarf form. Do you have the tall or dwarf?
