I'm thinking of planting a couple of acres I own in a few varieties of Bananas. There are a number of Plantains and Bananas in the adjacent areas. How big a deal is cross pollination?

Do you mean decorative bananas, or edible bananas? With the exception of acuminata, the edible kind are generally sterile hybrids so cross pollination isn't commonly an issue. Edited by Adrift on Sep 26, 2008 at 10:42 PM
