Description

One of the most ornamental of all banana plants, and this one bears fine-tasting fruit. This hawaiian cultivar has leaves that are burgundy colored on their lower surface to match the red-pink pseudostem. Being of a modest height, it is suited to both the landscape and greenhouse where it makes a beautiful specimen. The unripe fruit skin starts out pale yellow and should not be picked until it is very ripe. This is a close relative of musa 'White Iholene' and musa 'Ha'a' wich is the dwarf form of the 'Iholene' group.
