Default Namwah or Rajapuri here?

This is supposed to be Namwah, the regular variety. It has produced fruit when the pseudostem was at 7 foot, but more often at around 10 foot ps, but also can fruit even higher as seen in the picture.

I am beginning to doubt that it is Namwah and believe it is more like Rajapuri. I read that Rajapuri has wine coloring on the pseudostem, mine has some rosy coloring on it also. Well, the other details are pretty ambiguous for me, I cant tell the fruit from Rajapuri photos or this supposed Namwah apart, they both retain the flower part thingy on the fruit and have that little knob too. This Namwah also has fruit that has that grayish powdery stuff on it like in the pictures.

What do you guys think?





Yep, flowering already in April here in So Cal.
