Re: Ae Ae Emergency
Although the coloring is not consistant with Ae Ae at all, the morphology is. And as the other members have stated, it looks like a common type of variegation found on other Musa. So perhaps it could be an Ae Ae sport? Somatic mutation could be the culprit, this is how just a handful of original plants became the hundreds of varieties we know today, in fact that is how Ae Ae came to be, so it would not be crazy to consider the possibility of a change in variegation pattern from one generation to the next.
