Default Re: What are the observable differences between the subspecies of M. yunannensis?

Good morning Dr. Hakkinen,

From your paper both caii and jingdongensis have mature petiole lengths of 50cm, and yongpingensis a mature petiole length of 80 cm. Yunnanensis petiole length was not noted as it was not part the INIBAP Musa descriptor list. The color descriptions of medium green, light green, and pale green, I had recognition trouble with, (my problem). :-) !!

I have another smaller yunnanensis purchased from Agri-starts as Musa "iterans" which does not handle the summer heat at an altitude of less than 2 meters above mean sea level very near the southwest Florida coast. If in the future you need Ex situ lowland data on these, I will be happy to provide it!

May your efforts and conclusions be blessed. Good weather and good research to you Markku. Thank you once again!
