Default Re: Does this look Like a Williams Banana Plant?

This looks like a good opportunity for an interesting little project, I'm 100% sure that it's not a 'Goldfinger' and would be willing to send a real 'Goldfinger' so that they can be grown side by side for comparison. This would give Gabe the opportunity to explain how to compare them as they mature.
