Musa ornata x velutina
Brazilian Hybrid Ornamental Banana
One interesting natural hybrid from Brazil, both
cross partners orginate from the section
Rhodochlamys. Both cross easily
together because they both are from the same section. The cross seems to be
intermediate. The form of the fruits are more likely the of
Musa ornata, the color of the fruits
more like Musa velutina syn. dasycarpa,
at the same the color of the flowers.
The growth size lies between the both cross partners, the plant seems be viable. The culturvation of this hybrid is like the culturvation of the both cross partners.
