I do long for the day where more banana cultivars will be available here (same for many other fruits), it's hard to know how much we are missing - imagine only having a single type of citrus, squash or pepper/chili. 

Sadly in terms of disease resilience, the Lady Finger banana is too closely related to the common Cavendish, so it's suspicable to the same diseases.
