Identifying Banana Specie Nov 24, 2006 03:49 PM
(Total replies: 3)
Hello: I also have a very similar plant that i cannot identify. But i have some photos of the flowers... So maybe someone can help. I purchased the seeds from banana-tree.com. They were supposed to be bloodleaf banana. Well they are not. I bought 100 seeds, and have about 60 of the plants which follow. I am not complaining because i love the plants. but would sure like to know what they are. At first i thought they were the jap fiber musa -- they are tall, yellow stalks, quick growing, drought tolerant. Reach about 12 feet tall form a tight clump with relatively narrow stalks (like 6" in diamater max). The flower is georgeous -- has peachy bracts with yellow overtones -- see the pic. love this banana. This is the first one to flower.. pics follow... http://www.banderasbay.com/cl_upload/musa1.jpg http://www.banderasbay.com/cl_upload/musa0.jpg http://www.banderasbay.com/cl_upload/musa-clump.jpg http://www.banderasbay.com/cl_upload/musa-trunk.jpg could it be a cross between jap fibre banana and musa Balbisiana

It could set fruit -- they will; when even small but 1.5 feet is very tiny. I would cut off the flowers and let the plant put its resources into growing not fruiting. It is very drougnt tolerant and will die if over watered. be careful about watering.

Macadamia nut seeds ????? Mar 11, 2006 03:00 PM

The seeds that I received from Banana-tree.com were Jatropha muttifida not macadamia. They doo look like macadamia nuts but in fact they are highly poisonous. So in case anyone else got the wrond seeds -- dont eat the nuts! I also ordered 100 seeds of Musa Zabrina. They are nearly one year old and they are NOT Zabrina -- there is no mottling of the leaves. When they flower I will know for sure what they are. So not too keen on ordering from here again -- seems to be a serious control problem.

Macadamia nut seeds ????? Feb 12, 2006 01:30 PM

Well I can assure you 100% that they did not suppy what I purchased. Each seed (nut) was planted in its own bag and housed indoors. Germination was near 100% and each bag now has a tree. The leaves are palmate and deeply lobed. each lobe is toothed. I have found a tree locally that I believe is in fact what I received. The tree has a panicle of small red flowers, and new shoots (branches) have a hairy apperance. Would still like to know what this is. Its a nice tree so I dont much care but I would like to know what I have. The seed pods are a bit smaller than a golf ball and inside are 2 or 3 nuts. Once removed from the hust that houses the seeds, each seed has a thin hard outer "shell" that you can crack an peal away reveling a white "nut". I bit one and the flavor is sweet so I would also like to know of it is edible. Perhaps this is in the macademia family???? Who knows but its not a macademia any advise still appreciated.

Macadamia nut seeds ????? Oct 18, 2005 01:14 PM

Hello: I purchased some macadamia seeds a few months back from bananatree.com. The plants all came up but i am am a bit confused. The nuts looked like macadamia. But the leaves are deeply palmate resembling marajana leaves more or less. From what i see online this isnt what macadamia leaves should look like. Trees are fast growin about 3 feet tall. Any idea what they could be? like i said go the seeds here and they looked like macadamia nuts. any thoughts appreciated. jeff |
