The prosecutor is the big customer; as I said, if you don't know what variety you're offering, just label it "banana". Most people don't care--they just want a banana "tree". Heck, they'll blame themselves if it doesn't produce edible fruits so they won't complain. (They tossed the receipt and such the day they purchased her.) I see figs both labeled and not; I know that game. I'm anxiously awaiting taking cuttings from 3 of my best figs that I sent as twigs here in 2008; I rescued, repotted and placed them in a sunnier area where they finally are leafing out and growing. (She had them in total shade; they have never bloomed.) Varieties? Don't care. Superb black, green and brown with breba crops. I started BT from her clipping so will get one of those. And starts from a Black Mission and 2 other "tagged ones" she purchased from Lowes which are probably actually mysteries. IDing figs is not easy. Panache? Yes. Others? No.

So far it is missing the consistency but I am waiting for another great looking bunch to harvest any day now.... Labeling a plant just banana plant could be a solution, but then there are people like my Mom buying a Basjoo thinking they will grow edibles and not ornamentals .... |

I didn't go into the ornamental vs edibles because all the plants I've seen in FL that are "bananas" appear to be DCs. (I'm by no means an expert but those red markings are pretty obvious even to this novice.) But accidentally/unknowingly purchasing an ornamental is a real possibility elsewhere. Maybe just a label that says "these will perhaps produce yummy fruit if you nourish and water the plant carefully" would cover that? Yes, mislabeling ticks me off--I need a life!

Re: What Banana's did I see shopping..
It's always hard for me to tell what smallish plants from tissue culture actually are, but these two look suspicious. I'd be very surprised if the "Mysore" was actually that, given the lack of color on the cigar leaf and the open and spreading petiole margins. The "Red Iholene" only looks suspicious for lack of color on the underside of the leaf, but that may develop with time and more exposure to sun.

Re: What Banana's did I see shopping..
I can say CountryBoy I have absolutely no exposure to those types from t/c. What I remember of having them is they take some time to come into there own since they have so little corm I suppose. I saw only two my sores in the store that looked like yours, but if it's like a njalipoovan it's not going to change much.. :v)

Re: What Banana's did I see shopping..
Red iholene is correct, only when the p-stem gets around half a meter do you start to see the bronze red colour underside of the leaf especially in TC plants while young the plant has a light green glossy look on top of the leaves and midrib. Mysore could possibly be wrong.

Re: What Banana's did I see shopping..
That's not Mysore as mine even pups have real dark green leaves and blood red p-stem.

Re: What Banana's did I see shopping..
The Mysore looks right, can't really tell with the other two. Regardless, that is a good deal.

Re: What Banana's did I see shopping..
What is it missing or what reasons do you not believe it to be? When it was larger it had a rustic red pseudostem (which can be seen in the last photo when enlarged) and now has closed petioles (top petiole) that it has some corm to it. The leaves are also thicker and a darker green than some of my other bananas.
