That's great, Gabe! I like that variety, will have to try it one day.

I work in the greenhouses at UT, and the professor has several potted musa velutina that he uses for educational purposes. Four of the plants were in small, clay pots, and were so rootbound is wasn't even funny. I repotted all of them into larger plastic pots with a good soil mix, fertilized them, and now one of the pseudostems is pushing a bloom at just over a foot tall! I'll try to get a pic of this one soon.

Get that darn camera fixed, Gabe!
