Hi everyone
I'm a new member and I want to use your experience to identify the musa that I just bought today. I bought it from a respectable provider, the Palm Centre in Richmond, UK.The information on the pot and the provider suggested it is a musa basjoo but I now think that musa basjoo does not have a red midrib, or does it sometimes?
Could it be that it is a form of Sikkimensis or Helen's Hybrid?
I just want to be more clear, because that would determine how I'm going to overwinter it. The instructions on the pot suggest it could be overwintered outside with protection in milder areas.
I look forward to your opinions and feedback.
I have put photographs of my musa in my Gallery.
Thank you
Costas
