Default Re: Need help to verify type of Nana

I just Googled Hines Horticulture's website and saw their banana listings and saw that they had three - Coccinea, Dwarf Niņo, and Gran Nain. All their descriptions match each pertinent variety, however the accompanying photos do not match. The coccinea shows pink bloom rather than red. The D. Niņo do not have the black coloration in the Pstem and petioles. The Gran Nain looks more like Zebrina, or at the very least, a High Colo Mini, but the description says "solid green". Descriptions appear to be cribbed from Agristarts.

The fruits in the photo of the D. Niņo appear to be correct. But the plant in your photo do not show the black markings that the grower describes in his ad. I guess you need to wait until your plant blooms and fruits t really find out.
