Re: I can't nail this one down.
Maybe a basjoo / sikkimensis Bengal Tiger hybrid? I don't have any knowledge of how that process would work. Glad you where there to pick one up.

Re: I can't nail this one down.
They're out at Paradise Plants north on the 19A at Hardy Rd. You may know them. I spoke to Casandra there and explained our findings on the forum.
I have noticed the leaves are getting glossy on the...

Re: I can't nail this one down.
Indeed. We'll have to get in touch in the near future and compare notes. I tried changing my location on my profile. Both times it has failed.

Re: I can't nail this one down.
Interesting. Maybe sikkimensis matures and develops different characteristics than what is seen here. It definitely doesn't look like the large sikkimensis I saw in Chemainus some years ago. I did...

I spoke with the owner at length about what she had. I mentioned that as long as M basjoo has been available, I have never seen red striping on the leaves like that. There was one specimen amongst...

I can't nail this one down.
This one is streaked with variegation not splotched like some varieties.
Zebrina, young acuminata, sumatrana, or something else? Thanks in advance.

Forgotten Musa
Can anyone recall the botanical name for this Musa?
It was new, at least in the PNW back in the mid 90's. It has glossy, blunt leaves. I've forgotten the name. Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Barrie.

Re: is this s a pup guys
You should have a clear indication within a few weeks. In the mean time, leave it alone aside from watering as needed. More pics por favor when this starts to flush.

Re: Clones
I've seen TC's from other sources and there was some variation such as stem thickness, off sets forming, even the growth rate.
The Costco clones must be in a very controlled environment....
