[edit] Not extinct

If it's not extinct, is there at least any information as to where it still exists? Djcartwright 06:13, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I added a couple of sources, including a very comprehensive Popular Science article. I read it over, and though it didn't say outright that the Gros Michel was extinct, it certainly left the variety in dire straits. --Magmagirl 14:37, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I want one! Where can I get one? What do they taste like? Got a photo of one? Its weird that the pre-1950s banana was different than today's version and we will never get to taste the old one. Also our grandkids might never know what our banana tastes like. weird....
