Default Here's my total collection and I need ID's Please!

I have these two types of plants and I'm not sure if one, at least is a Basjoo, and the striped one may be a type of hardy banana, too. Waiting with baited breath for your assesments!

Please let me be the first to say, I am not one of the banana experts, but I will give it a shot. So backup will be needed here for sure! I think your green leaf is a Basjoo and the red mottled leaf is Zebrina Rojo. The best way to tell for sure is after they flower. I have both these types and have noticed the new leaves on my Basjoo has a pinkish peach rib when it first unfurls and changes to green. My red comes out with beautiful splashes of maroon, but fades as the leaves get older. Hope this has helped some. ~JaNan

Thanx JB!
OK that sounds like what I have. I had to wonder about the basjoo because it was from Jamaica originally and I had seen some huge 30 ft. plants there with giant bunches of bananas growing out of them. They looked like what I have, but that was a long time ago and memory fades after 24 years... From what i gather a basjoo won't fruit like that there.... or anywhere... just flower?

Your very Welcome. Check out the Wiki tab above for more info and of course google them. I have found that "height" guidelines aren't always correct. Conditions will always determine that. Do remember seeing any flowers on the Jamaican bananas? Basjoos have a distinctive yellowish green bloom. You will see pictures of it when you look them up and will also find out information about hardiness.
