Re: I am excited to be here!
Hi Mikako, and welcome to the org. Its kind of hard to tell species when the nana is still small. That said, Musa basjoo tends to have a reddish midrib, and as it gets bigger the back of the leaves may have a faint reddish flush. This disappears as the leaf gets bigger. Some bananas have a powdery white look to their pseudostems, but not basjoo. Why don't you post a pic or two and we'll give it a try?
