What did you mean by 'mostly white' - the fruit or the plant?

What do you mean, “I haven’t seen it for twelve years"? Are you talking about the one on
your property, or the one in the bush?

What colour are the leaves of the one, which grew from the corm you took home?

I second that. This appears to be a very interesting plant. How tall did it grow...
a) in the jungle and
b) on your property?

Also, can you place something beside the fruit, so we can visualize the size?
From your photo and the wood grain they appear fairly small?

Best,
Olaf

Where is this jungle located? Any one live or lived near that jungle? seems like it's edible fruit. May be some uncontacted tibes lived there.


Yunnan jungle banana, the most cold tolerant banana species Musa yunnanensis from tropical mountains of China


May be some uncontacted tibes lived there.

Looks like it should be tasty. Let us know what the flavor is like.

Looks to me like a 'Manzano'/'Silk' that was harvested a little early.

I wouldn't call them trash. Every edible plant is a treasure.
But if Puerto Rico is anything like parts of Florida. Those small fruited bananas are not worth much money wise. They just grow everywhere. Its a wonder really, how they get to some places when they don't grow from seed.
