![]() My Musa 'Ele Ele' at my house is just beginning to flower. It is only about 7ft tall, shorter than the 15-20ft they usually get. It has developed nice coloring at the bases of the leaves. I was afraid we would get a light frost Fri. night but it only got down to 36F.

![]() Nice plant! Did you buy it locally? (I'm over in Leesburg.) If you get some pups I'd like to trade for one- I have extra Pitogo, Dwarf Brazilian or Double, at 18" to 3'.

![]() I bought this at the Leu Gardens sale a couple of years ago. I work there and we had got some trays of banana plugs to grow and sell at our sales. I planted it out in Sept. 2005 and it really didn't have any of the dark coloring until this past summer. It also hasn't produced any pups yet. I think we still have some 'Ele Ele' plants in the greenhouse that we will have at the Spring Plant Sale coming up.
