Default Re: itinerans var. guangdongensis(burmese blue)

Hey J, I got my Burmese Blue last fall at banana-tree.com. They have the standard write up on it there with the same pic of blue bananas you always see. The main corm never grew but it's only pup finally did and got about a foot or so tall over the winter. It seems to be suffering in the cool spring here but still slowly putting out new growth. The best thing I noticed was that it had developed purplish petioles that are attractive looking( or maybe it's like a human turning blue in the cold). I'll try and get a pic this weekend. I'd like more info on it too. webebananas has a bit on them as well.
