Re: Musa Nepal?
Hello Frank,
I'm sure that mine is not an itinerans variety.
The growth is different from the itinerans.
Tobias Spanner brought the Musa sp. Yangtse from Yunan to germany.
His import (about 15 years ago) seemed to be the only entrance of this species to europe.
Seeds are not available.
This is the reason, why this plant is so rare.
My plant was a sucker of the plant that Tobias Spanner imported.
It seems, that all Musas with the name sp.Tibet and Nepal are the same as Musa sp. Yangtse.
You get the plants with the names sp. Tibet and Nepal much oftener.
So it suggests itself, that the Yangtse was tissue cultured some years ago and offered with new names by other salesmen,
... but this is anyone's guess!
