Musa Acuminata Zebrina
The blood banana (Musa acuminata var. zebrina) is a wild banana cultivar from Sumatra, Indonesia. It is an ornamental plant named after the dark red markings on its leaves, but its small-seeded fruits are also delicious. It grows 2 to 2.5m tall in the wild, although it is well-suited to container gardening and can be kept at 1 to 1.5m. It grows best in full or partial sunlight.
Blood bananas have dark red patches of varying sizes on their dark green leaves. Their pseudostems are often very thin. They develop small-scale, slender fruits with grape-like seeds.
