Banana or strelitzia?
Can anyone identify this (possible) banana? We bought it a couple of years ago as a "dwarf banana", but looking at it next to a strelitzia I have my doubts it is a banana at all.
 It's being kept as a houseplant in a conservatory in the north of England. Thanks for your help. |

Re: Banana or strelitzia?
Thanks penJ, looking at them together again it is pretty obvious. I guess I should (a) go look for strelitzia.org or (b) buy a little banana plant...

Re: Banana or strelitzia?
Could also be S. Nicolai. I have several seedling of the S. Nicolai, and they look like the the plant in your picture. The S. Reginae has darker and thicker leaves than the S. Nicolai. That is one way to distinguish between them.

Re: Banana or strelitzia?
I was going to say the same thing as Chong, but hesitated since mine isn't as mature as the one in your pic. I have both. Nice looking plant!!!
