Amazing. The Ensete ventricosum Maurellii is amazing too. I've never seen one sucker before. Very unusual!

Hi Ivan,

I’m not sure why a musa would produce multiple heads, but one thing I am sure of
Is that's a Musa basjoo, strange it came from North Vietnam though, I suppose basjoo has been cultivated as an ornamental in many different parts of the world.

I was looking on a Dutch forum the other day at a basjoo with multiple heads.
Here it is!

Marisha, that's an "easily" achievable effect. By making an incision to the stem in the shape of V you can force the meristem to multiply and differentiate into many plants. It's also described somewhere on the forum as Maurelli propagation? Maybe. Dunno. It's been a while. But this is a common way of forcing a plant to pup, even if it doesn't pup under normal circumstances.

Propagation thru corm cutting can be found here (http://www.bananas.org/f2/propagation-through-corm-cutting-8556.html) and the Maurelli propagation can be found here (http://www.bananas.org/f260/ensete-maurelii-propagation-1686.html).

I believe that's the case in both examples you state here. Whether it was forced by human hand or occured naturally.


As for your post, Ivan, I don't have a clue. I've seen that site already and I would go with a random variation or a blossom deformation during forming... anything like that. It's not natural and I don't think it is a trait that can be passed on to another generations. :)

Und warum auf Deutsch? Dort gibt es mehrere Menschen auf dieser Seite, die nicht Deutsch sprechen konnen und auch trotzdem neue Informazionen lernen wollen. ;)
