Pisang Ceylon or Musa Basjoo
 

I had a few people comment on my Picture before I posted the question here.
Last year I purchased two banana plants 1 of each Pisang Ceylon and a Basjoo, however the tags fell off during shipping and I didn't know which was which.
Here is a picture of one after it grew:



Here is a pup from the other:



Thanks

Pisang Ceylon usually has maroon coloring on the underside of new leaves.

You recognize Musa basjoo at the winged leaf stalks and the leaves are curly.

I hope that I could help you.

Best wishes

Which one do you think is the Basjoo?
Thanks Paul

those are both edible nannas. see the white powdery stuff under the leaves and near the top of the stem, basjoos don't get that.
