Re: Musa Nepal?
With all this talk of hardy Musa balbisiana, it's really hard to tell if those plants are actually Musa balbisiana. There are at least 6 different hardy Musa species(M.thompsonii, M.initerans, M.tibet, M.yantzee, M.daj giant, M.hardy German) that have the Musa balbisiana leaf trait(recurved leaf where it meets the petiole). Until they flower, leaf shape isn't enough to go on.
I have to agree with Frank, they look like different plants, and it seems to me to be a form of M. initerans also.
