When I finished my pit green house I planted 3 bananas inside a dwarf Cavendish on the right side of the entrance door and a dwarf Orinoco on the left also a blue Java but it is not relevant to this post they grew fine that fall and all winter but in April they died to the ground the dc first then the Orinoco not sure why the died down the blue Java was fine and is still growing .about a month later both put out pups and began growing rapidly but the Orinoco was now a dwarf Cavendish complete with wine colouration
the original plant was a pup from a dwarf Orinoco I had had for several years with no red at all
and appeared to be a true Orinoco I still have numerous plants from the original stock and none show any red colouration at any stage of growth the only thing I notice is there not as cold hardy as I think they should be maybe not a true Orinoco? any way here is some pics the Orinoco is to the left of the door also some pictuers of the same stock the orignal Orinoco was from I guess its possible that a root from the Cavendish grew over to the Orinoco but I dont think so I never saw a pup that far from the mother some one help figure this out its driving me nuts
both plants Cavendish on right
this is the used to be Orinoco
and this is two plants from the orignal dwarf Orinoco that the one planted in the green house came from it was exactly the same in color and shape before it came back changed
