Re: Running bananas, how many, and what are they?
Tony, that is most definitely NOT Musa laterita! It's not hardy anyway, and that does look like M. sikkimensis, so you're a winner.
Kyle, sure looks like Musa laterita, except for the angle of the inflorescence. Every one I've seen is straight up, no semi-horizontal lean to it. Maybe that one just got pushed a little bit by the leaves, or was leaning towards the sun?
M. laterita is quite variable. Some forms grow tall, while others stay very small. Maybe somebody should do some work with this species to see if indeed there are separate vars.
