Default Re: Musa sikkimensis

Delightful species that performs well in Bergen, Norway.

I am testing the "Red Tiger" theory myself these days. I ordered 100 red tigers, and 100 regular sikkimensis. I agree with gabe, it is most likely the exact same phenotype as regular sikkimensis. Even though I think "Red tiger" is simply a tool of marketing, I try to keep an open mind. Maybe the seeds really are selected from high-colour parents and show more variegation. Who knows. You cant really be sure until the plant is big.
