I know that it is a Cavendish... but I am not sure if it is DC or HCM. When I got it is was about 5" and growing in a coconut cut in half ( you take what you can get in Canada ). I thought at the time it would be a DC because it had very faint markings, and pseudostem was only as thick as the end of my thumb. But as soon as I potted it got very dark markings and they seen to stay. The lower leaves in the picture were the top set of leaves when planting. The pseudostem has also got some girth to it now, I can just nicely wrap my hand around it and touch fingertips. For a size reference it is in a 12" pot and stands to about my hip, pseudostem would be about 15"-18".
