Default Re: Who has the Biggest-Tallest Siam ruby out there?

to date theres no official record of one having ever bloomed
Found in the wild in Indonesia, 2005 but research indicated that it originated in Papua New Guinea it is almost certainly a wild subspecies of Musa acuminata, such as M. acuminata ssp. Tapo or something similar.
ts been purported by natives to have a sweet unseeded fruit
But to date there have been no studies done to prove this it reaches a mature hight of 8ft to 10ft

PS Eric my Siam Ruby isn't vary big only about 3ft its ruffly 1.3 years old the secret to rapid growth in the plant are temps in the 90s they love heat and sun so if your bring it inside to grow find a hot place but away from heater vents they don't like hot Air blowing on them
