I thought I would up date my pictures of the V. Rajapuri. Its come on well since may this year. It gets a bit burnt from the sun but seems happy enough.
Last week I took all the old leaves off ready for its winter location in my polytunnel.

Why on earth folks use frames on their sites is beyond me.
It appears they are sold out.
Here is the link to their page for collector's items (the variegated Rajapuri is listed here by not on their bananas page):

I don't know if their images are copyrighted, so here is the link to their photo:

I want one, of course! ;)

Thanks for the links Harvey. I didn't know to look in the collectors corner. I went to the site earlier, and didn't see it listed under the banana section so I figured they took it off the site...
Wow, what a great mutant. Does anyone know if the skin of the fruit is variegated also?
Wish we could get these in the States.

I see they sell the Zingiber officinale for 9.95 English pounds. I have grown
mine from a piece I bought at the grocery store.
Don't know why they list it under 'collectors items' ?
Eek, off topic:eek:

Jarred there are no pups yet. My normal Rajapuri is no where near as big and yet it has had a few pups.
I couldn't tell you if the friuts will be variegated . I doubt I will ever get it to flower. The petioles are lightly marked also with a tinge of pink like my Ae Ae
The new leaves come thru plain green and turn variegated after a few days
Peter has trouble trying to keep up with the demand for them. As soon as he gets pups they are sold out.
Tobi......My friend helen got a snow white of ebay a while back and it looks a nice plant.

Lovely plant Mark. I was never into bananas until I moved here, and never knew that so many varieties were available there.
Hi Mark,
look at this padge: http://www.bananenshop.at/
A Musa sp. "snow white" for 60€ isn`t expensive ;)
