It's funny you ask nanner cause I just took new pics of it and was planning on posting them in a few days. I think you would be very happy with it. MIne is growing fast, from a 4" pot to over 4 feet and we had really cold weather here until late June. It grows really fast and looks great. Liek Brian says it does seem to gorw faster than basjoo. We had a hot JUly which didn't slow it down at all.

It is an itinerans, although none of mine have pupped yet. I used Dr Hakkien's article to try to establish what var and it appears to be very similar to Musa itinerans var xishuangbannaensis, if you can believe that! I just don't know if it has watery red sap cause I haven't had the heart to cut it! Anyway it even has very tiny bits of wax showing up on the petioles, that are very easy to miss. So I could be wrong but running through the checklist it sure matches his description of it.
