I‘m speechless. An awe-inspiring, comprehensive, labor of love... Banana-enthusiast or not, scholar or lay-person, this brilliantly told “story” about one of Hawai‘i‘s most important crop plants (then and now) satisfies in every possible way. A masterpiece for the ages. Dr. Kamaui Aiona, Director, Kahanu Garden, NTBG, Hāna, Maui
