I thought I was planting Saba(that's what I paid for), but it's only about 12' and is fruting now, and the hands are double rowed, and all stuck together. Any other vars look like this?

Was just browsing the gallery and found this image of praying hands fruit that Mike (Bananavilla) posted:

Yep, those look like it. I was wondering if any other nanas came out like that? Def not SABA though. Kinda pissed at that nursery. I will never do business with them again.

I had a complaint thread, but it's nowhere to be found. I thought they made it right, but now I find out the bananas are mis labled. The one that was labled Praying hands, is not fruiting yet, but looks totally dif than this one. I'll post an image of my Saba.

12' is about right for Praying Hands, and the pix are pretty unmistakeable. On the bright side, Saba, by my taste, is identical to Praying hands in every way. The only diff is that Saba is taller and the fruit is not stuck together
