Default Re: Attention all Musa-experts

Hello everyone, and Hi Erlend. I've just joined this fine forum.

Thought I'd just say that I think Erlend is right about the first one as being Musa Nagensium. We've been calling it the blue banana, because it does look very blue. However, Musa Nagensium is supposed to have dark red stems and central leaf rib. But I think with it having all the visible wax on the plant it does indeed look dark blue. And therefore Musa Nagensium.
We'll have the seeds here soon so that might help identification.
It is vitally important that all species listed for sale on the Trebrown site are correctly identified and the botanically correct names used. This is our most important, underlying policy on the Trebrown site. Your help in identifying these will be most appreciated.

Warm regards to everyone.
Phil
