Kyle, the one that you sent me is getting some very good size to it, but it is still in a pot. I've got about 3 pups on it, another young plant that I germinated, and I just saw a new sprout in the box yesterday, so I now have 3. I have my doubts as to whether or not we have the real Musa aurantiaca though, because it really doesn't fit the description by Markku Hakkinen. I even emailed him a picture of mine, and he didn't think it looked like it, but he didn't rule out that it is a possible new variety of M. aurantiaca. Whatever it is, it is a very attractive plant, and I can't wait for a flower! I'll try to get a picture up one of these days.

P.S. Randy...Thailand, not Taiwan, LOL!
