To answer your questions about Yangste River; it doesn't have a Latin name as it hasn't been recognised as a separate species.

Same experience here with the Mekong Giant, I guess it needs a lot of heat to get going. Growing them in the US is absolutely not the same as in europe!

Musa sp Yangtze seems to be Musa yunnanensis var yongpingensis.
