As long as it doesn't affect Musa basjoos , Mekong Giants , and a few other hardy ornamentals I'll be fine ( I should eat more Bananas though , since they are so healthy ) . I'm pretty sure the big agricultural companies will find a way to get bananas to the grocery store . At least I hope so . We'll know soon enough over the next few decades . It is a good study of how important biodiversity is in plant horticulture .
