Default Re: Musa Nepal?

Just as mrbungalow says, I think it's just some sikkimensis variety...
The first sikki-seeds that came to Europe did not really have alot of red (not at the top of the leaves like 'Red Tiger' but also not alot at the underside).
Gereral remark; don't believe to much people claim on the internet, some people tend to be very optimistic and call a species hardy when they have had the luck of overwintering it outdoors for one or two years in a very mild winter.
My English is far from perfect, and that's not what we are here for, I know, but if you look at his English, maybe it's a reflection of the general level of education? It's a litteral translation from Dutch!! Word for word!
