Gabe, you said it about the seed dealers! Anything to make a buck. Doesn't matter whether or not it's the real thing, as long as it has a name. Oh yeah...these seeds were from Trebrown in the UK.

Kyle, I should get a couple of pics of my biggest one. It has started to really take off recently. I'm afraid that it isn't Musa formosana though. The real Musa formosana has no wax anywhere on the foliage or pseudostem. I am curious as to what we do have, however! So far, it's an attractive young plant.
