Hello! What is this?
 

Hello!
Around one year ago I bought this banana without any identification-mark. So, now I'm wondering - what is this? My friends told me that this is probably or Musa yunnanensis or Musa basjoo.
Please, help to ID
Thanx and happy New Year

Re: Hello! What is this?
 

Basjoo isnt.

Re: Hello! What is this?
 

Thanx!
But, my banana never had any pigmentation. I was told that Basjoo usually have it...

Re: Hello! What is this?
 

if U can take a picture of leaf and petiole it would be much more clear

Re: Hello! What is this?
 

Basjoo is normally completely green. The color is definitely right, but the green on the petioles might just be to lower lighting conditions.

Re: Hello! What is this?
 

Not Yunnanensis

Re: Hello! What is this?
 

OK, friends, Tanx a lot!!!!!

Re: Hello! What is this?
 

I vote basjoo also. I find my basjoos only have a purple midrib while young and when they get lots of light.

Re: Hello! What is this?
 

It's fun, but I completely forgot specie of my banana, and almost post new topic :)
but search is cool
now I recall (total recall :)) - it's Musa basjoo

Re: Hello! What is this?
 

Looks like Basjoo

Re: Hello! What is this?
 

Yes, I hope it is it
So I will try to put it into OG (open ground) - there is a little bit of time for it
But i still didn't choose type of covering construction.

Re: Hello! What is this?
 

Put a pic on of the Leaf petiole, it will help to identify it. Bajoo petioles are winged.

Re: Hello! What is this?
 

Not too long ago I cut banana-stem and now I have only small part of new leaf.
I will put it into winter-experience - and we will see cold-hardy is it or not :)

Re: Hello! What is this?
 

U cut the leaves off b4 u transplanted??

Re: Hello! What is this?
 

If I understand you, you ask - why I want to transplant my banana-friend in open ground.
So - there is a picture. First leaf is enough big, and weather is enough warm. And I think - one month it will be enough to rooting. And then I will cut stem off.

Re: Hello! What is this?
 

Maybe better to wait til spring. What zone are u in? Why did u cut the leaves off?

Re: Hello! What is this?
 

You mean - to wait with transplantation?
But too late :) I've already did it :)
About zone - every time I forget it. Russia for sure. Black sea. You can see on the map.
