Default Re: These Banana Are.....?

Update: My uncle, who lives on the capital's island and whom I got the pinkish tinted banana from (along with a few others), visited my garden a few weeks ago and told me that the tall green one is what we call here Sugar banana, so I'm thinking it's in the Ladyfinger/Sucrier family, some type of Dwarf[ish] Pisang Mas since it apparently fruits at around 8' or so (he said it had about 3' of growing left before it flowered), although the stem looks a little thicker than I expected for that variety. Thoughts?

Secondly, he identified the pinkish one as a plantain. Since it does have some A genes (hence the wine marks), could it be the Dwarf Super Plantain or Dwarf Puerto Rican?

Thanks in advance!
