Andrei, thank you for the nice words. I agree that musa basjoo is a great looking banana. I didn't try to pollinate the two musa basjoo blooms, but I did try to cross pollinate my musa basjoo with musa velutina. Of course, the bananas will never ripen since it could freeze in a couple weeks, but it was fun trying. I will pick the bananas before frost to see if the pollen took.
