Re: Musa x paradisiaca Vittata
Are we sure that Musa Ae Ae is the same as Musa Vittata? I have heard that Vittata has different growth habits than Ae Ae. Its suppose to be more slender, slower grower, and more delicate leaves.
There is also another variegate Musa out there similiar to "Ae Ae" and "Vittata" called "Florida Variegated" unfortunately I haven't found anyone one in Florida that recognize this one. According to Thai collectors it is listed as a different plant than Ae Ae. It was brought from Florida, similiar variegation pattern as "Ae Ae" but it supposedly has much slender leaves and a more reddish pseudotrunk.
