M. Laterita?

21 years ago

I was just reading some older posts, doing research when I came across a member's reference to worldplants.com and I checked them out. They don't have many bananas, but they got my interest!

They list a Musa Laterita, with an extreme upright growing habit and salmon-colored inflorescence. They also sucker at the end of long rhizomes rather than at the base. Supposedly close to M. Ornata, but the long-distance suckering sets them off.

The pictures at https://www.worldplants.com/musa.htm (about halfway down) really intrigue me as they look like a cool way to fill an area with foliage.

Anybody have any firsthand knowledge/experience of these?
