Default Re: Misi Luki

I'm not sure if anyone in the continental US has a "true" Misi Luki -- i.e., a Mysore type from Samoa. The Agristarts ones, the ones from Pitangadiego (Jon), and the ones from Papaya Tree Nursery are all the Pisang Awak "Misi Luki" from Samoa. Maybe Going Bananas does have the Mysore type Samoan Misi Luki, but I don't know.

David Silber of Papaya Tree Nursery told me that he imported "Misi Luki" many years ago from a guy in New Zealand who got it from Samoa. Presumably, the misidentification was made in Samoa or New Zealand. I would guess that the "Misi Luki" in the trade in the US are all descendants of those original plants brought into California.
