I have to agree with Gabe on this one. I have Ae aes that I have been growing in the uk for about 4 years now and I have found they don't burn. OK they don't look as good as the ones you guys grow in the U,S but we don't get the nice weather you lot get.

As for the Yellow/ green ones, My variegated Basjoo burns in full sun yet the variegated Rajapuri is OK with the odd bit of damage. My variegared Sikki is fine in full sun too. I have a maurelii that has a small percentage of white in it but that turns black in full sun. Also a variegated Acuminata yellow/green that is fine in full sun too.

All very confusing at time bananas arn't they.
