Hi, I’m considering buying a Blue Java Banana tree, but before I do, I was curious if plants grown from suckers or from tissue culture would be better. I’ve heard that tissue culture plants are true to type, and can produce more fruit, but also that suckers can have a better disease resistance. So before I buy I thought I’d ask here what method would create the better plant.
Any help is greatly appreciate!

In general tissue culture plants are relatively disease free and can mature faster. However the only tissue culture plants that I have bought, were for my freshwater planted aquariums.
