Default Re: Musa rajapuri

OK, since the thread is open already, I would like to ask you something.
About 3 months ago I got from a friend in Switzerland 2 bananas: Musa 'Dwarf Brazilian' and Musa 'Raja Puri'. Both are doing well, even though Raja Puri had no leaves when I got it and it's corm was as big as that of tullip.

Now it's going into puberty and I would like to ask:
Is it typical for Raja Puri to have small (Cavendish like) spots on its leaves? The spots are grouping along the midrib and there's also one thing I haven't seen on other Raja Puris. Mine shows slight red color on the pstem.

Could anyone help me with this one?
The pup was a water sucker when I got it and it still is, grows quite well, considering what it came through. It has small corm and hasn't been fertilized yet.
