Mislabled bananas

cherokee_greg · 11-19-2009, 09:24 AM

I guess I was a sucker for this one.

I found this banana and thought it was somthing that its not. I donot know my bananas yet and yes it did not look nothing like the picture. I was misled. But I do like the banana plant. I payed 10 for it and does anyone know what it is ?
I was woundering is there anyone else that found any more mislabled bananas ?
Here is mine

I would guess Cavendish also. Yes Greg, I find mislabeled plants all the time. Just the other day, when Cheryl and I were out celebrating birthdays - there was a gorgeous banana marked as a Basjoo. It had lovely maroon splotches and solid maroon on the underside of the leaves. Clearly NOT a Basjoo. It was a beautiful and I may get it if it is still there when I go back. Guessing I would say a Bordelon. At least they both start with a "B"!

HA! HA!

But its a good thing

The only thing is I donot know what it is the one it says it is I thought did not pup this has pups it was 10.00 I like it tho

I think that the plant may be mislabeled. It looks to me like a regular banana rather than an Ensete. The stocky trunk suggests an SDC. Great buy, regardless. A plant like that size would easily go for $30 in the Seattle area.

Dwarf Cavendish. That's what Home Depot get in the most it seems.
