Default Musa 'Leprechaun'

Please don't contact me about acquiring this plant.

I'm pretty sure its just a variegated/crinkley 'Little Prince' sport. Anybody else seen these around? I'm going to put it in the ground at our farm along with a normal 'Little Prince' to see if I can get any of these to flower one day.

I got a 'Little Prince' from Kylie2X a couple of years ago. It was about 4" tall when I got it and grew happily in an 8" pot until this spring. I bumped it up to about a 3 gallon.
