How about a photo? Are they actually Musa? If so, will be fun to see what they are :-)
We play a little with seed - this year have about 30 Musa and Ensete going wild. The Ensete I think I can figure out what they are when a little larger, but the Musa?? Here I will rely on the group to help. One, Sikkimensis I figure if it really is I will know next year if it survived the winter in a nice protected area, but the others, help!
I did post a few days ago about 5 varieties we just got, 4 of which not much out there (one was dwarf orinoco which has been discussed in this group as a decent size (manageable) early fruiting type). Cuban red according to Wiki has a zillion synonyms - are they really all the same banana? And how long to fruit? As a Cavendish type does that mean it will have the same fruiting habits as the Cavendish. . .? I have a lot to learn, but with 40 odd plants and 15 or so varieties, need to learn fast!
