Re: Veinte Cohol Pups Arrived - It Begins!
shrek is right that "Alot of Bananas look similar when they are young.", so instead of wasting time focusing on the similarities just look for the differences. Your Kokopo appear exactly like they...

Re: Edible Musa collected in Sarawak Borneo
Looked through my reference material, found some color variation between pinkish and reddish for Namwa. Like the somatic mutations you mentioned, I wouldn't be too surprised if Pisang Awak types can...

Re: Veinte Cohol Pups Arrived - It Begins!
Hmm, my VC looks to have stunted growth. 5 leaves all next to each other at the same height. The 6th Leaf has grown to be a centimeter higher. New leaf on the way.

Re: Veinte Cohol Pups Arrived - It Begins!
Yeah It's been extremely slow. Also a flood of bots posting suspicious links too.
I think it might be targeted due to its simple domain name. Imagine how much someone would pay for "bananas.org"...

Re: Edible Musa collected in Sarawak Borneo
It's a pretty faint purple in the photo you uploaded, probably the color fading since it's been exposed for a while. Could also just be me misinterpreting lighting in the photo, like that blue/black...

Re: False Ice Cream ID
Height isn't reliable as an identifying trait unfortunately, a ±2 foot difference from average is common.
Fruit size and fill is also highly variable depending on growth conditions, so it's a...

Re: False Ice Cream ID
By chance could you tell us how tall the building next to the plant is? As an American, I had to convert the meters into feet, and you said it looks about 14.5-ish. To me, if that building is an...

Re: Edible Musa collected in Sarawak Borneo
Yep, the picture you labeled "female flowers" shows a trait pretty specific to Pisang Awak types (as far as I know.) The pedicels are purplish when freshly emerged, but that color doesn't last very...

Petiolar canal- closed
Bracts- lifting with minimal rolling
Bunch density/position- relatively compact with...
