Default Black sheep of the banana family?

I do not see many posts on Musa Ebun Muzak. Is this banana not a very popular banana. I would guess that since the fruit matures green, it may be more difficult to know when it is ripe. I acquired a flat of these at Agri-Starts several years ago when I was down there. They were on sale. Since that time, I have grown them to decent size and gave them away at the Farmer's Market to good customers. The city of Winchester was full of Ebun muzak's that summer. I still have several dozen. My bedroom is overgrown with three big pots of them. They apparently like their location, as they are growing like crazy. I have a photo in my gallery. I couldn't get it to display here, even after following the directions...duh.

Maybe I will get some blooms on these later this summer and attempt to get bananas inside...not too easy, I guess. They are attractive banana plants with red blotches in full sun.
