My "Pisang Raja" is fruiting, and just began to open in the past week. Trying to determine if it really is. From the Kepler & Rust book, it matches some of the description, in terms of height and up pointing leaves giving the plant a feather duster appearance. But it's different in other ways. Originally a TC from Aloha Tropicals which is just slightly more accurate than picking a banana type at random.
Petioles more open than other AABs I have, but not as open as AAAs. No reddish on the underside of the leaves. No red midribs. Hmmmm....

Anyone who has grown these and who is sure about the ID of what they grew want to weigh in? They are clearly different than any of the 30ish other varieties I grow.







Hi Rob, do you have any photos of this plant. Were the female flowers yellow. Does it look anything like my Not Praying Hands plant. I got my plant from aloha tropical also.
