Re: Can someone tell me what kind of bananas I have?
Normally at this stage they are too small to properly ID, but often you can rule out certain possibilities. It's a little hard to see from the photos, but they don't appear to be Orinoco at all to me, there is some dark coloration on the pseudostem and on the petiole edges, they also appear to not have much wax, Orinoco is usually mostly green and very waxy giving the petioles an almost hazy blue appearance.
As mentioned earlier, you'll likely have to wait for it to fruit to get a real ID on it, but we might be able to narrow down the possibilities further with more photos. Could you get a close-up photo of the "crown", the area where the leaves come together at the top of the pseudostem ("trunk")?
