This pic is of a blue java grown from tissue culture. Its about 60cm tall and is about 14 months old.
I got the tissue culture from Nambour Banana Research station - a Queensland government organisation and one of the few places Queenslanders can legally buy bananas. We're limited to half a dozen or so legal varieties, if you are found with any other sort the government can and does impound and destroy the lot.
The banana growing industry has a lot of political clout in this state.
