Came across this interesting musa on ebay and wondered if anyone else could tell me more about it. Since it is advertised as "Musa helconia" will it produce bananas or just flowers?
It sure resembles Aeae in coloration and would be nice to have in the garden. Also, can something like this be crossed with a Musa banana to create a hybrid that bears fruit?
Here is the link: Musa Heliconia Variegated - eBay (item 190226922561 end time Jun-12-08 14:21:10 PDT) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190226922561&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=009)
Thanks!
