Default Mutant Morado
Today I noticed what appears to be a Musa Verdin growing in my original Morado Mat.

Does anyone know what the long narrow banana leaf in the background of the top photo is?

Here are some of Gabe's photos of a Tall Green Red.

When was it noticeable that a green red was emerging from your red mat.

I have a new red growing and I want to weed out the green to keep the mat red.

After growing thousands of Morados, I was very happy to finally get a Green Red mutation.

I was happy enough to carry a plant with an 11' pseudostem up my mountain so I can have it closer
to my home.

It's now planted along the west side of my driveway and has a partially obstructed ocean view and
will be placed on a diet of Island Banana Fuel.

What a trek that must have been. Hard work pays off though!

Is it a heliconia leaf in your first pic?

I actually prefer the Green Red fruit. It's not quite as strong tasting as the Red, yet still very similar and quite good.

When I moved the Green Red, I also removed a small pup which appears to be a Green Red.

I was not positive that a Green Red would handle being moved as well as the Morado.

When moving a large Morado without many roots, the leaves never needed to be trimmed.

The Green Red handled the move fine and looks great 5 days later.
