Hello
Hello everyone, I found the site today after looking for information on musa velutina and thought I should join. I live in East TN and have just recently started growing bananas. I also grow carnivorous plants such as Sarracenias, Nepenthes, Droseras, and a couple venus fly traps. My mom also grows brugmansias, sedum, alocasias, colocasias, daylilies, and many many others. The bananas I have now are basjoo (which seems to not be growing at all), velutina (which is getting fairly large) and one other that we are not sure on its ID. So this is my introduction and I look forward to reading the posts on this site and learning as much as I can about bananas.

Re: Hello
Welcome aboard, Aric! Glad to see you intro'd yourself. Hope you found my email response a help... As far as your mystery banana, I ain't real good at it, yet, but it sure looks alot like my red iholene... I also would like to throw in Musa Borelon into the mix. Although mine is not as vibrant in the coloration as yours seems to be.

Re: Hello
Welcome to the forum. The picture looks like a Rojo to me. See my avatar. But then again it dosen't look like it has as much red in it as mine.

Re: Hello
Do you think possibly it might be a musa acuminata zebrina. They sell them alot at the stores around here as ornamentals. :/ I love the pure red on the bottom of that leaf!

Re: Hello
Ahava, here's the wiki page. Musa Sumatrana (Rojo) - Bananas Wiki I think it's wrong. :ha:

Re: Hello
well welcome from a middle tn'er. lol! well im gonna put my 2 cents in and say your lovely pic dosent look like my musa zebrina.....the underleaves on mine are not red....but it could possibly be a siam ruby. jmo.

Re: Hello
ok i need to correct myself.....my zebrina does have red on the underleaf. that was my mistake. i had to go look....so that was my bad. upon further inspection of my bloodleaf yours looks a lot like mine. so i would say it is a musa zebrina.

Re: Hello
Arin,
Here is another comparison of Bordelon vs. zebrinus that I have growing about 8' apart. Sorry the Bordelon pic is not the best quality with the intense sun we were having the day I took these pics... Bordelon Zebrinus: |
Re: Hello
Hey Arin!!!
Welcome t the Org! Nice looking Banana you have there.. I have to agree with Bordelon.. Mine is not as big as yours but it sure does look like it... I look forward to seeing you around! Kylie |
Re: Hello
Randy, is that Bordelon hardy for you???

Re: Hello
You got me excited for a second!!!

Re: Hello
Sorry chime in here late.....I also think Aric's plant is Bordelon. I purchased one labeled Bordelon which was a Zebrina, and later got real Bordelon from Sandy. Both are nice, but Zebrina isn't hardy at all (for me), and Bordelon does fine here with no protection.
