This praying hands is no where near as big, The trunk is about 10-12" in diameter and the flower bud is hanging at about my head. Other problem is I got a great Praying Hands from Greenie about a year ago so NOW I have two different clumps. Anyone in S FL want a free Praying Hands with about 7 ft of trunk? You gotta come get it though.

It worries me that I bought a certain variety of banana from a reputable supplier and got something different - how do we really know what we end up with?

Praying hands def. do not get as big as Saba...but successive generations can get fairly large....
