Yes, that is a Raji Puri. The mother plant was about 2 ft last summer when I planted it in the ground.

Leaves are almost 2 ft wide and over 6 ft long and it now has 92 nanners on the bunch!

Now the big job will be getting it thru the winter. We have had 2 cold winters--it is time for us to have a mild one!
