Default Re: Sum x cross

Sumatrana X or "Cross" is very slender, topping out at about 5-6' of trunk, and leaves are red underneath, much like Red Iholena. Top sides of leaves have red splotching, though I noticed this weekend that I have one in the patch that is completely green on top. Choked spectacularly the one time it flowered. Very sensitive to cold (anything below 50F). Some sources say edible, but doubt it. Very small finger banana at best.
