This M. "PNG Highland" is now about 1 year old and is about 150 cm (5' ) high. The seeds arrived in EU together with M. ingens from PNG.

Some people suggested in the Trebrown Forums it could be
Musa maclayi subsp. ailuluai
Musa maclayi subsp. maclayi
Musa schizocarpa
Musa boman

But we will probably have to wait until it flowers to really know to which species it belongs.

I also have two Musa ingens sprouted a couple of month ago

and I would like to share a picture with all of you.

The plants are still small (about 15 cm high) and I have been fighting :2687: with fungus during they early stages (look at th old leaves ¡¡) but finally they seem OK

Does somedody has also any of this two species?. Any advice?

Please, keep you finger crossed.
