Re: Musa 'Bordelon' fruiting ?
On another semi-related topic, I have also seen many of these cool edible acum. subsp. zebrina type plants. I always thought they were zebrina until I saw enough of them fruit and they must be a hybrid with an edible and I even tasted some of the fruit and it was quite good, and fully parthenocarpic. They are not the 'Gran Nain' x zebrina, but something along those lines. They have one here at the Denver Botanic Gardens labled 'Raja Puri' (as if!!!), so maybe someone was selling them as 'Raja Puri'. I managed to snag a pup from a hotel in Florida this summer (hehehe!), so it will be cool to see it grow. I got some pics of that too I'll post later.
