I bought this from a nearby nursery the other day. It was not labeled, but the owner said it was Basjoo. I told him I don’t think so, and he said the only other Musa he gets is Zebrina.

I know it’s not Basjoo. I fairly sure it’s not Zebrina.

It has a 24” pseudostem. The mature leaves are green, 12” across and 20” long (very rounded) with a thick feel (almost rubber-like). The pups are coming up green, but then get red blotches in the leaves.

After searching around, I think it might be Musa Poquito PP#26424, or am I mistaken?

Some kind of Cavendish. That's your starting point. Which one I have no idea.

Poquito petioles look much shorter.
