Beautiful red plant from M. velutina seed
 
Hi, long time since I last posted.

I planted 100 M. velutina seeds from RPS last year, the plants look normal except for this one red individual which looks quite distinct.

I would love to hear if anyone has any idea what it is, if not then I'm just showing it off because I think it's really beautiful! :woohoonaner:

Toby at RPS told me the velutina seeds are produced close to sikkimensis seeds, so potentially a velutina X sikkimensis.

Where did you get your velutina from Chipb2?

They aren't a cross it is a variant of Velutina called Markuanna. This trait is indicative of that variant. The fruit will also be smooth skinned.

You have a Musa Velutina var Markuanna quite a new discovery and named after Marku Hakkinen.

Thanks for the replies.

Does anyone have any photos of young subsp. Markkuana plants? I have seen the plant described in the literature (Musa velutina subsp. markkuana (Musaceae): a new subspecies from northeastern India, 2013) and I don't think it looks very much like this one, but I wouldn't be surprised if the plant's colour fades with age.

Wow, that's very interesting. So, is it genetically the same as the velutina?

Has this flowered and fruited for you yet?

It has yes. It is indeed markkuana. Flowered twice but fruits aborted both times, probably lack of pollination under glass. I got a load of seed in last year and I've grown a bunch more since.

Tried to upload a photo of it flowering 2 years ago but it's just not appearing in my gallery now.
