I could be just parroting a myth, but aren’t they all genetic clones? So anything that evolves to attack one has evolved to attack all, potentially quickly wiping out just about all of them. And I think this happened with the banana we used before this one so now they’re rare and super expensive.
Through standardizing the banana, we’ve removed biodiversity.
They tend to go extinct every so often and need a different variety to replace them.
Is there concern about the cavendish?
Yes. Cavendish is in trouble.

They are a monoculture. Nature hates a monoculture. There’s a reason those don’t happen naturally.
