It was a healthy plant, I don't know why the variegation went away but it wasn't really all that strong to begin with.

Maybe I should move to PNG and make a living sending bananas back here!!!! What is the lineage of 'Pama'?
Hope to see more of them someday.
That plant was from TC. 'Pama' is a AA cooking and dessert (dual use) landrace.
