Re: All-red thai banana slowly making its way into the US
It was found in the wild and is definetly a seeded banana. Based on my observations I think its most probably a sport of one of the subspecies of Musa acuminata, or perhaps a new subspecies of its own if there are more maybe. No scientific research has been published on it yet, so it does not have an official name and most likely will not for a few years at least, if it is indeed worthy of its own name.
