I checked and the ones we have has just clear watery sap, I sawed one off yesterday. So you think it is just var. itinerans not var. xish. ? The stalk that was flowering hasn't set any fruit yet. There is another getting ready to flower, the bud is just emerging but it isn't any larger than the first.

So is the Musa sp. "Yunnan" M. yunnanensis or M. itinerans var. chinensis?

Here is the photo of the rhizome of the Musa itinerans we have (itinerans or xish.?). It was about 4ft from the parent, the rhizome itself has a nice red color but no red sap.
