musa valuntina

love those little fuzzy nanners, too cute.

whoops, I spelled the name wrong. it is Velutina..

nice color... I guess the name is reflective of the fuzziness of the nanner..... Ornamental or edible??

ornamental mz m. It looks like the momma plant will not get too big here, only about 7 ft.

Those are really neat Lisa! I too like the color.

I hope I still have one of those. The tags got lost on some of the nanas when I moved and some have died. Love the pink fruit!

Lisa, can you take a picture of the whole plant, so I can see the stems(pretty please with sugar on top?)

sure suz, no problem!

Thanks Lisa. I know what part of my nanas are, still trying to ID a few. My boss and I went to look at a house, they had tall nana trees with large clusters of short FAT nanas. The stems had bent all the way to the ground, but did I remember to take a picture??? no, I didn't even think of it till we had left.

Lisa I forgot about these nanas...we had them years back..not very big but very interesting to grow. :-)

Too Cute!!! Great color also!

here ya go suz, sorry I am late posting your request. I did take the picture of it yesterday and last night when I went to upload it, I couldn't find where I put the doggone disk. So here it is, another disk, another day..grin.

Thanks Lisa! I'm going to check in daylight, but I think I still have a veluntina left! it's shorter than the rest, so that makes sense now. I couldn't figure out why it wasn't 10ft tall like the rest.

I keep trying to grow one from seed. Twice unsucessful. If anyone has a baby plant they want to sell or trade let me know.

Does anyone know if the seeds are viable?

I have some that I bought, so they must be unless they are crossed maybe? I know nothing about bananas except that I like them. I got my seed from Banana Tree.

Its so pretty
Its ornamental?.....but has nanas that look like they'd taste good Not fair!....so sad!!!

The seeds should be viable.
CC, I've heard that there is no taste to the fruits on these, they're just for looks. I've got an Ice Cream pup if you'd like to try one that has good fruit!

YEAH!!!!!!
