Re: Mystery Musa! Gabe?

I was watching mine closely but sadly lost it this past winter. We had the coldest winter in history here in TX add 2 weeks with no power and I lost a few varieties.

I was reading my notes and I was really leaning towards FHIA-18 off type on this one. I know it was being tissue cultured at the time and would fit pretty well. With its pome genetics it would fit in with what Gabe thinks also.

I would love to replace mine and continue comparing it when one of you get an extra pup. Shoot me an email. I would be happy to buy one or trade for it.

Thanks
Ty

If I had to choose one I'd say a tissue culture off-type is to blame for some it's weirdness regardless of base cultivar. But without knowing its exact origin it's hard to pinpoint what the base cultivar is, but I'd still lean towards 'Brazilian' or a close relative.

Thanks Gabe! Are the narrow leaves a prevalent trait on any other species that you are aware of?

I too would love to get a pup. I can pay for it, or do a trade.

Unusually narrow leaves isn't a typical trait on edible cultivars, but can be a symptom of off-type mutation.
