The Pink Banana originates from India. It is a smaller tree compared to normal banana plants, growing only to around 4 to 5 feet tall. Unlike most banana trees, the Pink Banana Tree's fruits are covered with a velvety hair, and is self peeling as it ripens. While listed as an ornamental tree, the fruit is actually edible, however it is very seedy.
Pink bananas are correctly called musa velutina. These are also called fuzzy pink bananas, or velvet pinks. It has green and white variegated foliage and is inedible although very beautiful.
