Re: Does this look like a Kofi?
Good question. The hard part is figuring out what a real Kofi actually looks like. Here are two pictures from a reputable source, both from Jeff Daniells, who is an Australian banana biologist. The two bunches pictured look nothing alike to me.
Kofi is in the Iholena subgroup. One of the pictures shows a bunch that has the Iholena characteristic of fairly straight fruit that are oriented perpendicular to the stalk. The other shows very curved fruits, which doesn't seem very Iholena like. Which is the real Kofi? I don't know. Yours could be the one with the curved fruit. Or not.
Daniells lists Kofi as only getting 2.25 m high, or about 7.5'.
Randy Ploetz and colleagues at University of Florida published a study on characteristics of several cultivars, which included Kofi. The Kofi in their study averaged 3.3 m (11'). Are there two things being called Kofi? Maybe. Is yours either of them? Maybe. Confused now? Me too.
