Default Newbie with 2 questions.

Very happy to have found this forum. I'm just gettng started, and have been looking to start a collection of banana plants. My current cultivar is unknown to me. A cousin gave me some bananas off her plant, tasted delicious, told her I wanted to grow some. She gave me a few pups, 2 years later, I have some fruits growing! Please look in the gallery under Want Them All. Anyways, I'd appreciate any info you can provide to my questions:

[1] What cultivar might this be? The height of the plant is about 11' at the tip of the highest leaves.

[2] Aside from the green bananas you see in the photo, will I get any more fruit from this stalk? The smallish, maroon color "bananas", seem to be withering away, and not turning green like the rest just above them.

Thank you,
I'm in central California, zone 9.
