(Pot Sz: 2 gal) (Cannot Ship)
Common name: velvet pink banana
¤ herbaceous perennial to 12'
¤ plant in sun
¤ hardy to zone 7b assuming
¤ pink flowers in summer
¤ dark pink fruit
(MWCR22-016) While visiting Costa Rica Mark Weathington came across a clump of the pink-fruited banana which was easily 3' taller than any other clumps in the area. The bananas themselves were about 1.5" longer than their counterparts as well. This is a seedling from that large form. Will it prove to be larger than typical? Will it prove to be as hardy as the clone cultivated in the U.S.? We don't know, but that's half the fun.
