Default Re: First banana ever bought! What variety?

In my yard at least, when grown side by side, Rajapuri has a proportionally larger male bud and the bunch has a little more spacing between hands. And Rajapuri is a couple feet shorter. Since all of those traits can vary with cultural practices and climate, that probably makes them less than completely reliable.

A weird difference that only crops up where boron is low is that Rajapuri shows more signs of deficiency of this micronutrient than Dwarf Brazilian.
