Hello, I live in France in small brittany and I have a passion for all musa species and particularly rare forms.
I'm so happy to be a member of this forum.

Currently none, since the contract came up on my rental in the South. So far as Musa goes, I was growing Cavendish, Dwarf Cavendish, Basjoo, Manzano, a local variety called Seda (silk bananas), Red Plantains, and standard Plantains, along with Heliconia, which are called Platanillo here.

I miss my nanners, and I'm looking for a new rental that has at least garden space. Trying to force anything other than standard Plantains here in Quito is frustrating, to say the very least. If I'm out and get a cold rain, my pups are liable to kack out on me.

Hello Tangi, and welcome!
Can you tell me how big your nagensium is, and where did you get it?
And are you sure it is not a cheesmanii?
Greetings,
Remko.
