I stopped at a nursery today and bought a 3' green banana plant. I was told it was a Grand Nain, but when I got home I noticed a tag in the pot that said Misi Luki Maxi. I would be happy w/ either cultivar, but I'd like to know what I've got? No pictures yet, but it is a sturdy 3' foot plant w/ 8 leaves and 2 pups. There is red on the back of the leaf ribs, about like an Orinoco, around the base of the ps, and a thin edging on the leaves.
Does anyone in Florida (or elsewhere?) recognize a narrow white plastic stick tag, w/ that 'maxi' at the end of a name? I've gotten it 3 times now from small nurseries, and have doubts about the identity of all 3 plants. I've started wondering who is selling them to the local nurseries. Come to think of it, this plant looks a lot like the 'Manzano" I bought w/ the same sort of tag.
If you ever want pups from Musa incognito, I'm the guy to call?
