Musa acuminata microcarpa is a subspecies of Musa acuminata that originates from mountainous regions in Borneo. Its leaves have a yellow tint and the midrib (the center of the leaf) is almost chocolate brown. This banana plant produces long flowers with lots of small fruits. Since it originates from mountainous regions, it can tolerate slightly lower temperatures than other banana plants.
