The collor of the trunk started changing, after a while I couldn't tell which one was which. If you watch my new video, you will notice that it is hard to tell what variety it is.
It looks to be a musa basjoo but it isn't. It looks to be a raja puri, but it looks different. So I came to the conclusion that they are half breeds. I think they exchanged some kind of cells during their growth. I am puzzled by my own experiment.
Let's wait and see how much they will influence each other.
Your point of view is quite interesting.
Thank you.
Bye.
