It looks like it'll be a nice banana once it gets bigger and being as theres only a few left I'd go ahead and get one whilst you still can.

I too bought one from Darren Just incase they were different from my Nagensiums but as you say they are still small. I did also notice that the Red Stemmed Cavendish I bought from them is looking very much like my Basjoo Rubra. So maybe his source has mis led him a bit into thinking they are new strains. They are super condition plants he sells though.
I have just added pictures of Nagensium and cheesmanii ( in pots)to my gallery.
I have placed them side by side to show the difference. My Cheesmanii has a very Black unwaxy trunk where as the Nagensium Is a lighter colour and covered in wax. There are also pictures of the leaves of both types.
They were all grown by me from seed. I can't remember who sold the seed though.
Have a look and see what you think.
