Default Musa nagensium 'Foral Noir'

I really think this one is Musa cheesmani. You can check it with the Musa cheesmani in my gallery, and I can't tell the difference. This came from Kyle, but I don't know where the original seed source was.

And that's at night.

Fertilizer? Let's just say I've been investigated by the Department of Homeland Security due to satellite imagery readings that indicate there is an unusually high concentration of nitrates in the vicinity which in such levels is usually only linked to terrorist fertilizer-bomb factories.

Oh, and when they left, all they said was, "hey, nice banana trees. But, why aren't there any bananas on them?"

Any more questions?

M. nagensium is very waxy all over, it does indeed look to be M. cheesmani from those pictures.
