Thanks! It does in fact produce edible sweet bananas - and they're also striped like the plant! I can't wait to try them out one day.

I was able to snag it on Ebay, you can find them there but they almost always get listed for auction sale only. So I had to get into several bidding wars until I was able to win this one for a great price - for a variegated banana that is.

Thanks for the advice! And yes it's definitely HOT & Humid here, I'm still only giving early morning sun for now and then it's in the shade.
