Found in the wild in Indonesia, it is almost certainly a wild subspecies of Musa acuminata, such as M. acuminata ssp. zebrina or something similar. Since only one plant was found, it is not known whether this is a newly discovered distinct subspecies or a random variant on a previously described subspecies of Musa acuminata, field work needs to be done to detirmine its stats i got that from the Wiki so i dont know how up to date it is

Re: the Siam Ruby

Only one of my Siam Ruby pups shows red coloring? Is this normal? Will the others color up as they grow? Thanks guys.

Re: the Siam Ruby

They will redden with sun exposure.

Re: the Siam Ruby

The more it is exposed to the sun the deeper the redness. I peeled a leaf off and the p-stem was green underneath. In a few days it turned red in the sun..Good Luck
