Default Re: Variegated Musa "Florida"

Here are more details on the plant(s).



I'm not sure of up to what level should the pseudostem height be measured, so I recorded 2 readings.

Pseudostem Diameter : 17cm at base
Petiole Length : 40cm
Leaf Length : up 210 - 230 cm



Red margins on the petiole are retained at fruiting size, but prone to be the first part to wither on older leaves.



Leaf (I'm only chopping down withering leaves)

If you ask me, at this point the fruits sure look like Pisang Berangan (AAA).



Offset plant. The red parts are not too apparent in this photo.

The variegation seems to be reduced as the plant grows. I can't do a side-by-side comparison with typeform Ae Ae as I don't have one (unless some kind souls here could help me obtain one in the name of science. I'll pay of course LOL) but from photos of Ae Ae, I'm sure that these 2 plants are different.


I also got this from the same batch as the one fruiting, but the growth of this particular plant is pretty slow considering the amount of whites it has.



Its offset
