African Red
Anybody growing African Red? There is a huge mat at out Botanical Gardens, and I was hoping to collect some seed. From what I could see it doesn't look like there is anything forming inside fruit, but it's still early.
All wiki says is "Musa 'African Red' is a hybrid of unknown origin, definitely not a wild species." Can anybody add anything new? Russell

Re: African Red
It is possibly a hybrid with M. sanguinea, but really not much is known about its origins. From what I have observed it is completely sterile both female and male.
