Default Re: Musa balbisiana species???

Here is a picture of the M. b. 'Gigantea' I have planted in the ground. It's under the canopy of an oak tree. When they were seedlings the outer edge of the leaves were jet black. Now the leaf stems have this color. Also the undersides of the leaves had a light pinkish color to them. These larger plants no longer have that.
