Default Mystery Musa! Gabe?

Hi all! So I acquired a mystery pup from Akula last year. He had limited info on it, but had fruited it once. I believe he thought the fruits looked similar to Tu'u ghia, but he said they were very small. The one standout of this plant, is it has very long and very narrow leaves.. especially when young.Ive had leaves on this plant oveer 10 ft long, and they often break easily. The pups best represent this trait, and look like sword sucker leaves well into 5/6 ft of pstem. Ive enclosed some photos to start this process, and the flower should reveal more this week. The plant flowered at exactly 10ft of pstem, with a narrow trunk of 8inches in diameter. This plant also made it through several nights in the 20s this year with no protection whatsoever.




Long narrow leaves into maturity


Flowered at 10ft of Pstem. Elongated flower


Open petiole with a hint of red on the edge.




The pup in the foreground is nearly 6 ft of stem and exhibits the narrow leaves best.


Ok guys.. what do you think?
