I will do some digging and try and find a good source for you. Dare I ask..do you know of any other names for the Texas Star?
Mario,
Thank you. The name "TX Star", as I explained earlier to Jack, was coined by TTN. I've seen other vendors use that name on their bananas, but they have no connection with TTN, so there is no way know if they are, in fact, the same plant, except in the case of one that I have, if it fruits and the TTN TS fruits, then I can compare them. Cold hardiness appears to be the same. Maybe a little better than CA Gold, even.

Regards,
Chong

PS. For Figs, have you checked out Jon's(Pitangadiego) site "We Be Bananas"(Figs4fun)? Great stuff!
