I've suggested to Brian that his plant is probably var. itinerans, but got no response. If he wants to continue to label it incorrectly and misinform the people who buy his banana, then whatever. It is definitely NOT var. xishuangbannaensis. I'm kind of surprised that Plant Delights would mislabel it also without properly keying it out first.

Buffy, I've been down that road also, but haven't given up yet. I should say that I HAVE given up with Tian Zi, but haven't given up acquiring this monster from another source. It's only a matter of time before we finally can grow it here. When we do finally get it, it will make 'Mekong Giant' look like a midget, LOL. He'll have to rename it.
