Default Re: Musa basjoo var.?

That "Yellow Flower" one is not yet published, but as I hear it closer to M. itinerans than M. basjoo, though M. basjoo and M. itinerans are closer related to each other than to other species.

M. basjoo can have vary greatly in height depending on conditions. I have seen them flower anywhere from 5ft to 20ft.

M. basjoo sets seeds normally, but the plant is so common in the nursery trade as pups or tissue cultured plants that there is very little demand for seeds.
