And where can you get them? Because all you did was link to the wiki article explaining what they are. I'm pretty sure they're almost impossible to get in the west.
If banannas are sterile, what exactly do you plant to grow a bananna tree? Where do you get the seed?
there is no seed
banana plants tend to send off secondary offshoots, and these are cut from the main plant and used to grow a second
this is why all bananas are cloned, they essentially all come from the "same" plant
Dig a penis shape hole in the ground. Place one ounce of rhino horn extract, two apple seeds, and a silver dollar in that hole. Then stick your Penis inside the hole. Wait until the flashing lights stop.
Pull your penis out and revel in the fact that it's now a banana.
Now go out into the world and plant bananas in whatever cavity you can find.

Most avocados are cultivated the same way because they take a very long time to grow
Normally sterile banana varieties sometimes mutate to produce a few seeds that can be used to induce sexual reproduction. But the logistics are daunting. In one successful experiment using this method, researchers hand-pollinated 30,000 commercial banana plants with pollen from wild bananas.
The resulting fruit - all 400 tons of it - produced just 15 seeds, only a third of which germinated.
So if they are all clones wouldn't that mean they would be VERY susceptible to falling ill to some banana disease and dying?
yes
and that is exactly what has happened and is happening

Did you know that thanks to it's inability to evolve defences against invasive predatory funguses, insects or other pests, the banana is the most heavily insecticided and pestacided crop in the world?
this is why the "the banana is proof of an intelligent designer" argument is particularly hilarious, because the modern banana was invented and is kept alive by science

All bananas come from the same plant, which is a giant network of underground root systems emitting spores for consumption, all so that it can control the entire AAUUUGH I'M SORRY

Some of these facebook updates about pearl harbor really get me. It's like, sup 18 year old, don't think you were on the Butan death march. Fuck you if you think you've earned that revenge card.

A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

apparently they call them pups... and sometimes mutation produces seed, though it sounds like success is very limited
In the Banana stand.

NO TOUCHING!

I've got a nice hard cot with your name on it.

They may taste different or look different or whatever.
I do love banana flavor though.

The wild banana. Not delicious.
Fried plantains.
So good.
the strand we eat nowadays is not nearly as sweet and flavoured.
edit: it's still a cavendish, i've never had gros michels, but even within that species there has been a reboot.
Also that they are not very good shots with a blaster.
You'd do that to your own brother?
