There have been reports that it could be owned by Hawaiian royalty but it looks like it was probably a story mad up to drive up prices lol. They are nice I have 3 of them hope to have a 4th withen a year. I got a sucker on one of mine. I dont think I will be able to ever get banana here but it would be nice. The fruit looks awesome!

According to the Kepler & Rust Hawaiian bananas book they did find any research to substantiate that it was reserved for royalty.

I will post some pics soon

What should I do to get the variegation back?

Can I try ash or palm fertilizer?
I think the variegation is perfect!!!! Remember,this is a vigorous strain and you will have MORE green.Therefore,the more green the faster it will grow and the stronger your Ae Ae will be.

The more clean white,the easier it will burn in full sunlight.

The 70 to 30 that you have is perfect!

The more N from all the compost will help with the green.I would usually add some lawn fert high in N a few times a year.

Add Sulfur if you Want MORE WHITE....Be carefull what you wish for LOL!

RAINFORETZ....... Your banana trees are an inspiration!

Sorry to dig up this old thread but I am extremely curious.... how did it turn out? Did it fruit? What growing practices did you find were helpful? Thanks a bunch!

I love the whole look of them. I so would try growing them if they were not so expensive and I did not live in zone 9a/8b. I am very jealous of y'all. Great job and thank you for sharing your pics
