Musa "Bluggoe"
 

Does anyone know if Bluggoe is the same as Orinoco or is it just very similiar? Would it be just as hardy/cool tolerant? Gabe? =) Thanks.

Re: Musa "Bluggoe"
 

Bluggoe is a subgroup and a variety. When refered to as a particular variety, it should be what we know as 'Orinoco'. I can't verify the plant you are thinking about is actually 'Orinoco', but based on the same it should be. There is also 'Silver Bluggoe' which has silvery fruit skins.

I just ordered a variegated silver bluggoe from Thailand.
I'll post pics when it arrives.

Re: Musa "Bluggoe"
 

Is Orinoco a reasonably easy one to germinate, or is it one of those stubborn ones? Am thinking of giving it a go from seed. But not the silver one unfortunately!

Re: Musa "Bluggoe"
 

Jarred, what happened to your variegated 'Bluggoe'? Do you still have it?

Re: Musa "Bluggoe"
 

If anyone has a small one of these please pm me...

'Orinoco' does not produce seed. It can either be propagated by dividing a pup off of the mother plant or through tissue culture.
