Joy Re: Musa acuminata subsp truncata

Hi Mark,
Man, first, it's Frank getting the variegated seedling from Thailand and now it's you. You guys sure know how to make me jealous!
His seed source was from Thailand too. I think it is probably the M/a subsp siamea cos the M/a subsp malaccensis don't get as far as Bkk. It is found throughout M'sia to Southern Thailand.
I went to South Thailand last month to look for the M/a subsp siamea but found only the M/a subsp malaccensis. The only difference between the Thai and the M'sian form is the color of the flower when I checked with Frank. The M'sian form is crimson in color whereas the Thai is bright red.
