ID Musa banana from Home Depot

dross99_si · 01-04-2019, 08:22 AM

My wife picked this up from Home Depot here in South Florida the other day. Our first banana

All it said on the label is Musa banana and of course the garden department employees don't know anything about it. Any clue what it is?
We replanted in a 7 gallon pot and it seems to be doing ok. Do you guys see any issues with it? Any suggestions are appreciated!

It’s almost impossible to tell at that age. Just the colors, markings, and pedicles I would guess maybe a Musa Gran Nain? Unfortunately you will just have to wait and see.

I’m fairly certain it’s not a basjoo, Orinoco, namwa, or anything tall.

Congrats on getting the plant. Looks good and healthy!

I would move some of the mulch away from your nana, she's a beauty, your fur baby is adorable
