I recently bought a new house and it has this beautiful banana plant. I have no idea what kind it is. Anyone know? The previous owners didn't know either, but they did say that it produces bananas. I live around Houston. I have not trimmed it back yet. All of the leaves are currently dried and brown, so it doesn't look this pretty at all right now. This photo was taken in October 2014. My other question is, when do I trim it and how much do I trim it back? Do I cut all stalks down to 3-4 ft.? I want it to produce this spring and come back just as big.

Thank you!
