musa Burmese Blue

[grub]

I only know what I know Tony , the one I have left has black leaf margins whereas the other had red margins; from what I can remember they otherwise looked identical

Cheers Tony, looking at that it would seem the one I had was Itinerans and the one I have is Yunnanensis

[Palmer]

Hi grub, I’m not sure what you had now
Yunnanensis has wax on the Pstem but none of the Itinerans have that and you said the two you had looked practically identical.

You may have had two Yunnanensis!
or guangdongensis and a Burmese blue they look practically identical.

Hmmm? Right, the dead one was definitely red edged leaves, the live one is definitely black edged leaves. Both plants are slender with really slender leaves, as for the waxiness I can't really remember them looking any different other than at the leaf edges , pup on it's way to you in the spring Tony if I keep them going .
