I purchased these plants as "Cardaba" (left) and "Dwarf Namwah" (right). Below is a closeup of the "Cardaba".

While I am not entirely sure what either variety should look like, the "Dwarf Namwah" does show characteristics that are consistent with other ABB cultivars that I have seen, so I believe it may be correctly identified.

My concern is mainly about the identification of the "Cardaba". It looks more like the Cavendish clones that I have seen, than any ABB banana that I have seen.

Any input on the identity of either plant will be appreciated, especially the "Cardaba".

Thank you,

Glen
