Hey Kev, since I talked to you last I looked at all of mine. My Musa cheesamni has quite a bit of wax, maybe even more than the M. nagensium from europalms. The nagensium x from Kenibreed does look slightly different though. When I compared leaves, they look almost identical to me! I'll have to get some pics uploaded. They all have the same color pseudostem, the only real differences that I can tell are the amounts of wax, the midribs, and petiole color (slightly different).
