Last weekend,I ground planted my 'Red Iholene' and a Musa "Cuba".
Musa 'Red Iholene'. I was very happy with how well this one handles shade and how much faster it has been compared to other varieties in cooler weather last year,growing through the coldest part of the year despite having leafs damaged from frost now and then, that I decided to reward it with a spot in the ground. Here it is!
Musa "Cuba". This is an unknown variety from Cuba that supposedly produces seedless fruits. Seems like a Fe'i to me in everything but it's not big enough to check for sap color. I ground planted it to help it grow faster hopefully and find out what it is soon! I love Fe'i but all of mine died in a cold and wet winter despite being in the ground. They rotted on site... Hope this one is a Fe'i but has better future in the protected spot I chose for it.
