Re: Musa sp. yangtse ........ which variety is this?
Hi,
I have never been in Tibet but what I have heard from my colleagues China who have visited over there and what I have observed in Kumning Botanical Institute based on living plant it is just a variant of M.yunnanensis. It is commonly cultivated in north as animal fodder. It is quite cold tolerant as it can stand some minus degrees Celcius and snow which occurs in Kumning every winter.
Markku.
