Default Re: varigated bananas

You don't specify what type variegated.. zebrina (green/red variegated) is pretty easy from my experience. Probably quadrupled in size from 1.something feet to around 5 feet by the end of summer this year.. full sun.. no maintenance (planted in the ground in VA for the summer.. I dug it up in Nov. to winterize it indoors). The dude I bought it from said out of 4 of his in the ground, 2 of them survived a VA winter.

If you mean white variegated, from my understanding, Thai variegated ("Florida AeAe) is more hardy than Hawaii AeAe. Apparently, unless you're in the correct climate, Musa AeAe (Hawaii AeAe) is very fragile.

My post on this is located here actually.. I thought I purchased a Musa AeAe from the picture but it was actually "Florida AeAe" (Thai variegated): Musa Aeae White Variegated
