Re: What are the different varieties that people refer to Ae Ae?
The Ae'Ae' is the name of a specific variegated banana. From my understanding it's a mutation of the 'Maoli' - a Hawaiian banana.
It's a beautiful plant and pretty rare so they command pretty high prices. It's also supposed to be one of the harder plants to care for and they are less cold tolerant than other varieties.
I personally have the Variegated Florida which is similar in looks, it's also easier to find than the Ae'Ae' which makes them a bit cheaper - but still expensive compared to regular banana.
I'm still learning a lot and no expert by any means, there are people on here with a ton of knowledge on these varieties so maybe they can chime in.
