Bananas Brindando Re: Musa zebrina X velutina pics

It has survived in my yard down to 26f without any problems coming back the next year at all. I am posting another pic of one of the pups coming up on one of my larger plants. I waited until I knew I had plenty available to release a few. I had no idea in the beginning that the pups would have such a deep red stem. I have found over the last few years that the red is much more vivid and longer lasting into adulthood by planting it in at least 50 percent shade. In full sun the variegation on the leaves as well as the red on the stems begins to fade.

Below is another pic.
