im starting with the pups this is the base of the follower pup.this is as big as any other fruiting size banana i have. this is a pup. remember these pups have a pinkish midrib and a waxy underleaf.then they turn almost solid green and the powder disappears at maturity and the trunk is almost golden with pinkish hue.
this is the top portion of the follower pup.
here are pics of the base of the waxy unknown as an adult...the trunk turns almost golden.
just finished cleaning the base free of dead leaf sheaths
this is a pic showing the measurement midways up the stalk..i suppose this thing is gonna put out a massive head of bananas one day?? it seem to be designed that way huh? .
its maybe a common variety from south of the border? i dont think the old guy sold me anything too rare. i was looking at a handful of possible matches.all from south of the border.
