Default Re: New Species Just Described: Musa zaifui

Frank did you notice in the first photo is is named M. zaifuii with two i's? Quite strange that he named it one way in one spot and another throughout the remainder of the article. (God, am I analytical or what?)

The article also mentions that this particular banana is quite drought tolerant. That is exciting for us here in the Mojave....And they flower quickly so shorter growing seasons may also benefit. Makes me wonder about crossing it with another Eumusa to make an edible variety. Now all I need are some seeds or explants!!!!
