Musa??
Hi!!
I was at Home Depot today and notice this Musa Banana Plant. However, I'm not sure what type? It's says ornamental........but was hoping it would fruit.........  Also it's growing pups and it the leaves been broken off is that bad? Will it regrow? The center look great....should I buy it?  |

Re: Musa??
Dang, my Home-depot and Lowes haven't started selling bananas yet, I'm sure you're down south? My guess is some kind of balbisiana? BB/BBB?
Ornamental usually means not edible Yeah broken leaves might slow it but new ones will grow from center. Check out EZ's post here: home depot/lowes supplier Last edited by jbyrd88888 : 04-19-2014 at 01:21 AM. Reason: link |

Re: Musa??
Just be aware you are the only one that has thanked me on this post.
A real pro will tell you an I.D. can't be accurate without a picture of the flower and/or fruit too. I guessed musa lasiocarpa because lasiocarpa might turn down a buyer, your location, and information on height was determining. I potted all mine in 10 inchers after I got em. Bigger the better though. After they get tall, wind will be an enemy. |
