Does anyone have any info on this variety? Could also be called Musa Dwarf Red Green. With a name like that, it's hard to do a search for, get too many hits!:lurk:
Thanks!

PS. Now that I've been a member for two years, no need to welcome me. Thanks!

Welcome 1aday!

The Musa Dwarf Red Green, or Dwarf Green Red is a sport of the Dwarf Red. Here is a link to a vendor:

I grow this plant, its like Dwarf Red but it has a lot of green, here is a pic of mine with two side by side:

The two plants in the picture are planted side by side, they are not from a common mother corm.


I have them available as well, I list the Dwarf Red here:

If you would like a green one, just let me know and I will ship accordingly. I ship corms, not tissue cultured plants, btw.

Thanks Jarred,
I would assume that the one on the left is the Dwarf Red, and the one on the right is the Dwarf Green Red. Is that correct? The one on the left has more red than the one on the right.
