Default Re: An unknown banana

The plant is not 'Goldfinger', the plant in question has very different pseudostem coloration and petiole shape.

It's hard to say for sure without some different photos at different stages of flowering, and also it looks to be on the malnourished/stunted side, but it could be a type of 'Namwah'. It looks a bit odd though and without those other photos I don't want to say it is 'Namwah' for sure. Where did you get it from?
