I was sent the wrong bananas I believe
I ordered from an online supplier -- won't say who to protect privacy -- ordered musa orinoco corms. Received my package, potted them up and put them in the greenhouse. What's now leafing out does not look like musa orinoco -- it looks like musa zebrina!
See my picture below. My musa zebrina is on the upper left and the mystery banana (that is supposed to be an orinoco is on the lower right). All of them are looking like this as they leaf out. Do you all concur?  |

Re: I was sent the wrong bananas I believe
I dont think your new plant is a zebriania, but not orinoco either.

Re: I was sent the wrong bananas I believe
Many bananas and plantains have wine splotches on immature leaves. I haven't grown Orinoco for so long I don't remember.

Re: I was sent the wrong bananas I believe
I think the one w/ heavy wine stain is a Blood banana, but the jury is still out on the other, might have to do an update as that one progresses.. :^)

Re: I was sent the wrong bananas I believe
Good luck. It seems to be a very common problem with sellers misidentifying plants.

Re: I was sent the wrong bananas I believe
I got lots of Orinoco, pretty sure that is not an Orinoco. Mine never has wine spots.

Re: I was sent the wrong bananas I believe
Agreeing with previous posters that it's most likely not an Orinoco; look like something possibly in the Cavendish family ;D
