Re: Attention all Musa-experts
OK! I have some updating to do.
The first one, the black / blue banana: It is found in cold areas at attitudes of 3000 - 5000 feet. Stem height is 20-25 feet tall. The mid ribs of these leaves are deep violet in colour.
The last lot of pictures are mixed up: The pictures of the pink leaves and flowers are Musa velutina. However, the tall banana with the pink fruits on has only very few fruits on each hand. And Yes Gabe, we seem to remember that there are only 3 fruits per hand, but we are trying to confirm that and get some more pictures. That banana is very different (taller) than Musa velutina, which is why it stands out.
All the other pictures (mixed up) are of either yellow flowering bananas, orange flowering or orange/yellow flowering. Several different ones. I think the fruits stay green.
