Default Re: Musa mannii in zone 8a

Mark, yours has some great color! This clump could very well be a hybrid. It does have the papery edges on the petioles, just not quite as pronounced as yours. And just to be clear, that clump is in Anniston, AL. I'm in Knoxville, TN, and I was there for a Southeastern Palm Society meeting there on Saturday. Wish I had the bananas that they have there! There are around 35-40 different varieties of bananas planted at the Anniston Museum. The guy responsible for them all is a member here, but doesn't post much.
