Description: Musa itineransAlso known as: Burmese Blue, Yunnan, Indian FormHere is a wild species of banana that is widely dispersed throughout continental southeast Asia, from northeast India to Vietnam and adjacent islands. In China, it is usually found in secondary tropical rainforests. It is shadow loving and can grow to over 18 feet tall. It has a red or purple pseudostem that is generally 7-10 inches in diameter. The tender inner stem is often harvested and eaten. During the juvenile stage the deep green leaves will produce a dark red midrib, which runs into the leaves. Once mature, it produces nice 4-6" small blue-ish purple ornamental bananas that are locally used in Thai cuisines. One unusual feature is that it forms runners or stolons, and even forms them in the distance of up to 2 meters from the mother plant. Interestingly, it was shown as one of the most resistant and cold tolerant species in the Musa genus, providing valuable resource for the disease resistance and hardiness improvement in banana breeding.

For complete transparency we include payment processing & Ebay fees in our shipping/handling cost.*DISCLAIMER*NO RETURNS/REFUNDS/REPLACEMENTS ON SEEDSMost specialty seeds we offer are NOT fast to germinate.Many take several weeks, months, and some even up towards a year depending on dormancy, region, season etc. It is important that the buyer understands that seeds are perishable products and seed germination can be adversely affected by such factors as mold/fungus, bugs, temperature, moisture content, light intensity, dormancy, care, contamination of planting media among many other reasons. These factors are totally out of The Plant Attraction's control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable. Many times it is a misconception because the seed does not have the density to sink in water. Accordingly, The Plant Attraction does not guarantee seeds to perform properly regardless of conditions or buyer's methods or mistakes. Since 2006 we have been doing our best to hand sort and provide the freshest, cleanest harvest that is free of defects and bugs.
