![]() This is really a Musa rubinea x Musa yunnanensis, which is a great combo. It will be registered under Nature Products so they will be the only ones able to sell it (www.natureprodcuts.net). Here are s ome pics of the parent plants in my collection, you can see where the different traits come from.

![]() Uhm, Gabe, isn't that Musa yunnanensis you're showing here actualy a Musa itinerans 'Indian Form'?
I actually bought this species as yunnanensis as well, and it forms really long rhizomes so I'm guessing 'Indian Form',....right? Kind regards, Remko. |

![]() That M. yunnanensis I had was imported from Nature Products as a corm and verified to be M. yunnanensis.

![]() When it produced suckers they were not on long rhizomes, they were right next the mother plant.

![]() Ok, thanks for the answer Gabe! This probably means one of my Musa's I thought to be Musa yunnanensis is probably something else still,...
It did not have that distinctive red midrib shown there! I do also have 'Indian form', complete with red midrib in young stage, but this one does indeed produce very large rhizomes. Thanks again! Kind regards, Remko. |

![]() You still could have M. yunnanensis, coloration on the plants can change dramatically with conditions, and also there are different forms of M. yunnanensis.

![]() I'll see if I can find that atricle of Hakkinen then describing the subspecies/forms. I guess I'll still have to wait for a flower though.
Kind regards, Remko. |
