Agri-starts "Misi Luki" = Tall Namwah?
That is definitely a Pisang Awak (Namwah), but maybe not the typical US form. Those persistent male flowers are significant, normally they do not have so many. There also a few other subtle differences, but it's hard to say if its due to the environment or more stable. I think I have seen this form at Fairchild which they have mislabeled as 'Giant Plantain'. I would upload photos but my internet is currently too slow.
