This bunch came from a tray of bananas that I bought from Agristarts labeled as Misi Luki. Thus far it is the only bunch from that tray that is not a Mysore type of banana. I'm kinda thinking it was some kind of hawaiian out of the Mai'a Maoili subgroup. Thus far I have found 3 platano burro bunches mixed in with a tray of Dwarf Namwah. Almost the entire second tray of Dwarf Namwahs sported tall

The one on the left:

I'll also add that the plant is actually fairly short, I cut the bunch off standing flat on the ground so at most the top of the bunch was 8 feet high.

I'm so sorry your bananas committed suicide (sorry....noose, LOL) :ha::ha::ha:

Hate it when that happens.. it causes a lot of problems and confusion for not only yourself but anyone you gave pups of the plant to, and so forth. This puts the entire nomenclature at disadvantage.

That's the best knot I know for the purpose, although I have wondered what people must think when they see a noose hanging in my garage.

It does not look like a Maoli, but its a little hard to tell what it is exactly. Do you have any photos of the bunch on the plant, and any with the male bud intact, or photos of the rest of the plant?

I can get a picture of the plant, however I took the male bud off, it was pretty small.

Much to my surprise the male bud was actually still in decent shape so here it is:
