Default Black trunk Banana

This is a new Banana for me. It was sold to me from a friend out of Thailand and is known for its black trunks. Their seems to be no name of it and I am not sure were it orignated from. I have grown Ele Ele and it looks much different than the forms I currently have. I am not sure if the photo will give it credit when I first fot the plant I thought it was not black at all but as it matured it turned a very dark black to purple color. The leaves are very thick and slightly curl under on the edges. Anyone seen this before?
