Default Re: Variegated Dwarf 'namwah Pearl'

Ive seen the white sections of Ae Ae (pure leucoplasts, no light absorbtion) burn like a match in full sun, this new one will need some adjusting to full sun and I gaurentee it will not grow as fast as other bananas, because even though it has lots of chlorophyll and chromophyll still, it does not have nearly as much as green bananas which can throw out leaves every 4 days or better, this plant wount be able to keep up with the big guys. It will still grow and produce but at a slower rate for sure.
