Re: different sikkimensis types
The main difference is where the plants occur naturally. 'Manipur' grows in the Manipur region of India, naturally. Musa sikkimensis has a rather wide distribution, but some populations have become quite isolated from others. Personally, I don't think there is a huge difference in the many varieties of M. sikkimensis. Why don't you grow them all side by side for a few years and then tell us?

Re: different sikkimensis types
I don't think there's any real difference other than where they come from, never heard of Bengal Tiger I have to say.

Re: different sikkimensis types
I think there are minor variations, but really not much. I believe some exceptions to the sikki's in color or size based on origin get named new cultivars under assumptions of similarity.
for what it's worth, this one is a darjeeling giant purchased from sandy last year. Plenty of red for me! (its on the right)  the leaves come out almost as red as the ensete on the left but fade over a few days. not bad for nh |
