Default Re: newbie ??...how to tell which banana grows in my garden...

so,,,with what you say, it looks as if the wiki needs some editing:

"9. YOU HAVE AN EDIBLE EUMUSA a. rounded leaf bases....go to 10. b. non rounded leaf bases.... go to 11.

10. YOU HAVE AN ABB. a. big ass plant (20-30ft), rounded male bud, plump angled fruit...Musa 'Saba' b. large plant (10-15ft), bluish green angled fruit...Musa 'Ice Cream' c. medium sized plant (10-12ft), few hands of green strongly angled fruit... Musa 'Orinoco' d. small plant (4-6ft), few hands of green strongly angled fruit...Musa 'Dwarf Orinoco' c. fused fingers...Musa 'Praying Hands' "

and, as an aside, this exercise has helped me in how to begin identification...thanks all
