I'm intrigued, I'm gonna put this on my to read for 2023.

I have wild* bananas growing in my parents' backyard - I really can't imagine a world without bananas. It's one of the most normal plant I can think of - a house with a banana plant sticking out from behind it is one of those "standard drawings" you produce in grade school. I need to see why it's such a difficult crop to grow, and why/how it might go extinct.

*Well, I guess they aren't literally wild - it's the suburbia after all. But nobody farmed them or anything as far as we know - they just sorta do their own thing. The bananas they produce have crunchy seeds (of skittles size) inside. I promise I'm not taking the piss.
