Grand Nain/Misi Luki?
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?

Re: Grand Nain/Misi Luki?
If my memory serves me from my trip to Pitangadiego's place, the Misi Luki is similar to the Namwa only smaller with similar tasting fruit?

Re: Grand Nain/Misi Luki?
The Misi Luki would have longer, somewhat narrower leaves.

Re: Grand Nain/Misi Luki?
This critter is still pretty immature at 3 feet, but the leaves are long and narrow vs. a Cavendish the same size. And there are no color splotches in any leaves- even the Manzano that seems to be from the same supplier has some red marks on new leaves. There were actually 2 stick tags in the pot, a hand made one for Grand Nain and a printed one for Misi Luki. I guess the next test is to take some pictures for you- my wife is the shutter bug around here and I HATE to ask her for help
 - or see how tall it grows.Thanks for the help! I'll call it Misi Luki until more information is available. Paul |
