Cancer Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Nature paper (probably behind subscriber wall) The fungus that is so deadly to the standard Cavendish variety of banana is in the Americas (Colombia in specifics), and probably its spread is inevitable.

Time to start stockpiling bananas...or carpet-bombing Colombian banana fields. Where will South American be without its banana republics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Stock piling won't work. We've already lost the tastiest banana a few decades back. Been so long I can't remember what it was called, but that "candy banana" everyone swears doesn't taste like a banana? It tastes like the banana we lost to the first banana blight.

pinecone Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Yep, and it could have been done in the "right way". Show the array unaltered, then if that does not work ask the court to modify.
