I picked these up from Home Depot today... Both are labeled "Musa Banana Red Abyssinian"...

Question: Are they the same species???

The leaves are different in that the taller tree has red splotched on like a Zebrina, and the shorter tree starts red at the center, and flows to green in the center, and then back to red at the edges...

You should be able to see the difference in the p-stem from the picture...

Thanks in advance,

Michael
