Description
 |
A vigorous, medium-sized wild banana native to northeastern India. The pseudostems are densely clustered, dark reddish-brown in color, with a waxy white bloom towards the leaf stem. The leaf is bright green above with a light central vein and greyish below with a showy brown-purple vein. Although M. cheesmani was described half a century ago, we believe that this extremely attractive and colorful banana was only recently introduced into cultivation through our efforts. It is related to Musa sikkimensis and will be successful under similar conditions.
