Hi

I went to a local nursery and they have 1 gallon "Musa dwarf green red". The tag didn't say anything else but that it grows to 8 feet tall.The workers there won't know so I didn't ask them, so I figured I would ask here.
What exactly is it? What are other names for it?
They sell for close to $9.


Thanks a lot

It is a green mutant of the common 'Dwarf Red'. Also sometimes called 'Colorado Blanco'.

Red banana which has mutated to green color, but retaining other red characterisitics, including flavor.

Hi

Thanks for the answers, I will probably get it.
If anyone has more to add about this banana, I would still be glad to hear it.

Thanks again
