see pics...

It is sold in the markets of Kalimpong.

"Musa Hajaray ( Hazar in our language = one thousand, so, this would translate to Musa thousanday?) as its name suggests produces many large fruits. It does well in Kalimpong and even in higher, slightly cooler regions where slight winter frost would settle. However, it does best in the warmer hill slopes below Kalimpong. Fruits are large and sweet when ripe and two bananas would be quite filling.
From plant habit, Musa Hajaray looks more like a hybrid of Musa balbisiana."

I will hopefully be selling this and some other interesting cultivars from Spring next year. I will offer them to the .org members community before selling them elsewhere.
Sign me up for one Kev! They look like fat Orinoco's.
