Default Re: Musa Nepal?

Hi Tony,
Indeed, 'Tibet' might come closer, but doesn't have any red midrib as I see on this picture if I'm right.
And Jean-luc (no dissrespect) has brought more names on the market in bananacountry. 'Tibet' is thought to be just a specific clone of basjoo according to some,...just aswell as 'Fujiama', 'Saporro' and 'Sakhalin' are...

I wouldn't get my hopes up to high about this Musa 'Nepal' actually being a 'new' or interesting species. Much more likely just a missnamed species with an alledged hardiness claimed by just one person for now...
