Default Re: Puerto Rican bananas?

Definitely not a Maricongo which is a False Horn Plantain,

not a Cuerno de Alce which is a Horn Plantain,

it's not a French Horn Plantain or even a French Plantain.

vitin6039, Who did the certification?

I have 3 certified Musa Puerto Rican "Cuerno de Alce" I personally brought from P.R and mine look very similar. Look at the pics below so you can compare the plants.







NOTE:
This last one is Hawaiian (Musa Hua Moa) but yours is definitvly not a Hua Moa. Hua Moa plants do not have any red on the leaves.
