Gran Nain and Dwarf Cavendish look IDENTICAL other than height. I know this from experience, and then mixed the two up and couldn't remember which was which. Thankfully they both died this past winter so I don't have to be confused any longer!

I didn't chime in at the time, but now I figure I will. You can't tell the difference between the two until they are mature plants. Secondly, your plant on the right doesn't even look like either currently because it looks like a few sheaths have been taken off revealing only a whitish/green stem.

Good luck.
