Default Musa balbisiana "Thai Black" and Musa "Black Thai"
are distinct species correct?

does anyone have a picture of Musa Thai Black in flower?

can someone explain to me the difference, Musa Thai Black is a newer introduction that seems to be getting alot of praise (I bought one recently), cant figure out what features it posses over M. Balbisiana (which has a beautiful unique flower)

Musa balbisiana (thai black banana)

found a thread that answered some of my questions. Going-Bananas has both "Thai Black" and M. balbisiana, wonder how they differentiate the two

I didn't know there was a difference. Maybe that is part of the problem with mine not having much black on the pseudostem. Maybe I've got "the other one".

So-called Thai Black (M.balbisiana variety) is native to Indonesia. It has grown there for a long time. I had good possibilitie to study it in my recent trip to Indonesia.

What are the chances of Black Thai coming true from seed?

If the chances are good I'm going to buy some.

I've got a Black Thai. It sure has the dark markings on the p-stem and petioles. It's beautiful. It grows rather fast as well.
