Default Re: plese help me, what kind of banana tree I have

Hello;

Now I am unshure too, since Cavendish can also have black blotches.
The reason I think it may be balbisiana is because of the amount of wax and the leaf-shape, but it could also be some kind of "mediterranean hybrid" of some sort. Or it could be a cavendish with specially shapd leaves. Usually, cavendish leaves are "attached" as opposed to "unattached", but maybe this becomes less apparent on larger plants...

But do you have any red/ maroon colour on the stem? Did you see brown/red colouring on the stems when it was younger? If you did then it most likely is a cavendish type.
