Re: Nam Wa or Ta Nee
Both Ta Nee, Pretty easy to tell. Correctly ID'd as Musa Balbisiana "Indonesian Ivory". Gets extremely large with BIG trunks and HUGE suckers, produces seeded fruit.
Nam wah is thought to be a descendant of the Cavendish group, so it will have wider leaves with shorter petioles and a thicker trunk, probably the sweetest dessert type fruit you'll taste-(no seed). The pink coloration will only appear if grown in full sun and then only very slightly along the upper 'wings' of the petioles. You will see more pink coloration on young M."Florida" pseudostem and petioles.
