I have a couple of banana plants that are supposed to be var. xishuangbannaensis, but it's too soon to say whether they are the 'real deal.' Once this is determined, they will be in culture, otherwise, they are simply another M. itinerans.
I also have a promised corm of Musa Tibet and another of Musa Yangtze coming this spring. (actually, the person I am getting it from refers to it as M. 'Yangtze Valley' so I don't know if they are one and the same or not.
The hard part about TC is deciding whether to grow out the plant and work from the pups, or just go right into TC from the get go.
Still want to get my hands on one of those 'India form' to put into culture.
