Re: Musa ingens and other large bananas
Hi Gabe,
you're right of course. Thanks for pointing out.
It was M. itinerans with the violet fruit and stems.
Yes they are running like Bamboo, but I have a lot of space, so no problem there.
They get close to 40ft in the forest. The more shady they are, the higher they can get.
So I plan to grow them in a coconut grove under a 100ft coconut canopy, so I assume they will grow taller that way too.
Will get my M. ingens seeds next month and if I ever get any seedlings, I will try to grow them in a shady condition too.
Cheers, Martin
