Re: Manzano or not?
Yug, I don't think the pink petioles is a typical trait of Manzano, but it can develop from certain environmental conditions. Apparently, a classic symptom of nitrogen deficiency is some bananas is pink petioles. I've seen it in some of mine, and when I feed them, it goes away. Not saying you aren't fertilizing enough, but it is a possibility. Many of the foliage color traits seem to be strongly environmentally influenced, and not reliable traits to distinguish varieties.
