Red streaks in young dwarf brazillian?
 

I ordered a dwarf brazillian tc pup on the net. I received my pup in good condition. The pup had a few red streaks in the leaves similar to a zebrina. Is this not a dwarf brazillian or can they have red in the leaves when young? Thanks.

Yes they can have red

Mine has some Red (my lil one has more than the bigger one).. :^)

I wondered the same thing about my DB when it was small because of its Zebrina-like flair.

DB's can be pretty like that when they're young. (Mine became greener as it aged.)

Mine also a youngster has wine stains on leaves - I heard it is in the Cavendish family.

Many young bananas have wine stains.

Thanks everyone. Got them from Florida Hill. Look pretty good. The db and a red dwarf.

Yup, normal to have red splotches when they're small. They lose it when they get bigger.

Here is a Pic of one of my D. Brazilian mother plants and small baby with wine stripes on leaves to show what mine looks like and compare to what you have. Hope this helps.

It's not. It's in the Pome subgroup.
