Could you post a closeup shot of the pseudostem of that plant? It does look different than mine. Mine does not get that reddish-yellow coloration to it. Yours indeed does look like a Musa itinerans form.

No, mine is not a RajaPuri...it is not any edible. It was sold to me as Musa itinerans, and is offered still by AgriStarts as such. They state that it grows 38 feet tall, but it flowers at about 15 feet in Florida. It fits the description (although there is no official description yet that I know of) of Musa yunnanensis.

Perhaps yours sent up a pup very close because it is in a pot? I also do see some wax on the petioles of that plant.
