Re: Red stems, green leaves, fast grower

This is enseten ventricosum, possibly Tarranda Red/Red Stripe or some red-petioled variety.

There is no nutrient decedent or anything, the plant looks fine to me.

Kind regards,
Remko.

Re: No more Musa Basjoo clones!

Very curious what will come of the seeds Mauro! Nice to hear!

Do you have the title (or the article itself) of the Musa basjoo clones? I'd be very interested in that!

Mekong seems to be good, you might try it. I'm still getting it big enough untill I dare to try it. They're readily available in the US.
