Talk:Musa × paradisiaca

Need for the article
There is some overlap between this article and Banana, Plantain and List of banana cultivars, given that most plantains and many bananas are cultivars of Musa × paradisiaca. However, I think it's worth having a short article under the botanical name, as opposed to the fruit names, but it probably shouldn't be expanded much more as this would just repeat material better placed elsewhere.

Image
The image I've put here (File:Israel banana trees 3.JPG) shows what I think is needed: the whole plant with fruit and a terminal bud still developing. However, it might be a cultivar of Musa acuminata (i.e. an AA, AAA or AAAA genome group cultivar) rather than a cultivar of M. × paradisiaca. It would be nice to have a similar image certain to be of the hybrid. Peter coxhead (talk) 06:43, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
