Musa itinerans 'Burmese Blue' Blue Burmese Banana - 3pcs seeds/packet

A moderately sized banana from northern Thailand, Laos and Vietnam that has previously been associated with both M. acuminata and M. balbisiana but is now thought to be Musa itinerans, close to the recently described variety guangdongensis but not the same as it grows considerably bigger and has suckers developing 2 to 3 m (7 to 10 ft.) away from the main plant rather than the tightly clustering habit of Musa itinerans var guangdongensis.
The mature fruits are bluish to purple, rather small, and are locally used in Thai cuisine.
