Default Re: Red Kru blooming

This is one of the ugliest bananas I'm growing!

It's a slow twist. It's not on a single plane like Strelitzia but in photos it looks that way.

I say it's one of the ugliest because the leaves quickly brown at the edges and get real tattered. The pseudostem can't be cleaned up really well, there's always an abundance of fiberous brown dead matter no matter how much you try and peel off it comes right back, so I leave it alone. And the colors aren't really anything to write home about.

The bud is emerging today. Between this rain I'll try and snap some new photos.
