On Saturday I picked up these banana plants . I think I got a pretty good deal at $29.95 each . The problem is I do not know what they are . I guess they could be Musa Basjoo but, I don't really know how to tell . I have a few small Musa Basjoo and the leaves seem to be a bit more pointed with a bit of red on center rib , more noticeable on the youngest leaves . I read something about the petioles being winged where the leaf attaches , not sure what that means exactly . The guy I bought them from said the mother plant that these originally came from had fruited but, I didn't ask if it was edible . I guess if I can't figure this out I will need to dig them out and store them inside over the winter . Sorry the pictures aren't the greatest .
Anyone have any ideas ? :islandsharkbanana:
