Thanks Gabe,
You're right about the differences being more important than the similarities, I learned that in 3000 level Botany, but from our photos I could not be sure about the waxiness you pointed out. We never used Musa as lab subjects or even examples in Botany.
My plants are young and small, and waxiness is not yet apparent to me. Thanks for the "refocusing."
Don said to tell you hello Gabe.
GhostCrab, I plan to plant out the "MacKlayi" I initially purchased, I may buy more in the spring if available. Try to get some from Sandy at Northern Tropics as it may be longer than you wish to wait for me.
When you get them liquid fertilizers with root starter is not advisable, they seem to be a little sensitive, a dry powder rooting hormone with fungicide seems to work much better. That is a "finding" from my initial trials.
Good growing and Merry Christmas!
