The Musa Nono, also known as the Pink Banana or Hairy Banana, is a species of wild banana that is native to the tropical regions of Northeast India, Myanmar, and South-Central China. Its scientific name is Musa Velutina.
While the specific history of the Musa Nono isn't well-documented, the history of bananas as a group is quite extensive. Bananas are believed to have originated up to 10,000 years ago and some scientists believe they may have been the world's first fruit. The first bananas are thought to have grown in the region that includes the Malaya Peninsula, Indonesia, the Philippines and New Guinea.
Over thousands of years, travelers and explorers spread bananas along their routes to regions including Africa, India, and the Middle East. The Musa Nono as a wild species has likely been around in its native regions for thousands of years, long before humans began cultivating bananas.
Today, the Musa Nono is primarily grown as an ornamental plant due to its distinctive pink or purple flowers and fruit. Despite its name, the fruit of the Musa Nono is not typically eaten due to its large, hard seeds. However they are edible!
