Description Fine Print
 
Musa 'Chini Champa' is a favoured banana for its sweet tasting fruit and fresh aroma. Chini means sugar, and Champa means fragrance of magnolia flowers. Cold-hardy as well if handled with care and planted in a protected situation. The plants can reach up to 10 feet or more with new shoots displaying a red colouration gradually maturing to a deep brown. New leaves have a red tinge on the back. Midribs are a dull red. The flowers are a pinky-purple. The fruit is small, sharply curved, yellow when ripe with a thin peel, creamy pulp and a sub-acid taste with seeds. Young plants appreciate partial shade. Provide moist well-drained soil with heat, sun and humidity. Very pretty and fun to grow.
