Christian, They taste delicious! They are sweet and have a pleasant, fruity taste and aroma. Lots of seeds, but if you take the time to scrape the small amount of edible flesh off of them with your teeth as you roll the mass around your palette, it's worth it.

Ive concluded that the ID Tapo "PNG" refers to this Musa as coming from Papua New Guinea. I did find some information stating that this is a chimera or 'sport'. This means there is a 'normal' colored Musa Tapo. In turn, this leads me to believe that TC will be problematic. I haven't been able to find any solid information regarding its origin, classification, etc., except that it is AA Diploid. I would appreciate ANY information about this Musa!

I saw pictures of this rare musa about 10 yrs ago. A US collector had purchased 2 from a guy in the UK for $250 ea. They were ID'd as chimeras of Musa 'Tapo' native to Borneo. In the past few years they have been growing in private collections in Thailand (selling for $2000+),and in the last 2 years a handful have been brought into the US. I understand they are currently in TC. IF its a chimera, exact clones are doubtful. IF its a species, they should be able to produce exact clones. I have seen them labeled as 'Red Thai' and 'Red Png'. I think 'Red Thai' is probably just a common US description, and 'Red Png' is the common Thai description. Im holding onto the Latin descriptive of 10 yrs ago ('Tapo'), until it has been researched further by the scientific community.
