The Gros Michel Banana was the main cultivar of the international banana trade during the first part of the 20th century and was the main export to the USA.
In the late 1950’s it was replaced by the Cavendish type banana ‘Grand Nain’ also known as the Chiquita Brand Banana. This was due to Fusarium Wilt which nearly destroyed the banana industry. The cavendish banana was resistant to Fusarium Wilt or what is called Panama Disease.

Gros Michel never completely disappeared. It is still grown by small farms, in backyard gardens and other mixed cropping systems throughout the world.

Our Gros Michel plants are Tissue Cultured or Cloned from USDA specimens that are housed in plant banks designed to save certain species of plants.
