Musa sikkimensis Red Tiger - Red Tiger Banana

From monsoonal mountain forests in extreme eastern India on the border to Burma comes this colourful variety of the famous Darjeeling banana. While just as easy to grow and just as cold tolerant as the regular Musa sikkimensis, it has a most stunning pattern to its leaves, with dark purple zebra stripes on the upper surface and a reddish purple underside. The pseudostems are yellowish green.
