Default Re: Brown Banana plant?

Yes I know. Maybe once I see pics of the whole plants 12ft tall then we can tell. A guy at a well know nursery claims this big bunch of banana plants he has. Our cavendish,which they are only 6ft tall but don't have any markings on them at all. I had four foot plants that still had alittle purple on the leaves. He has had them in there landscape for years and just cuts them down. They always come back. His area gets hit with alot of frost and cold snaps because of it being a low lying area. He is like 45mins away. Even me living a few miles from the ocean and a huge river don't think they would survive for me. So I think his were maybe crossed with something else to make them extra hardy?
