Does this look like Manzano ? The leaves are near the length of Praying Hands but narrower

You need to show up close photos of the petioles and pseudostem. Leaves no not help very much.

That looks more like 'Manzano' than 'Praying Hands'. If that is what you got it as, it looks fine. But if you are unsure of it's ID at all then it still could be something else. If you are just concerned about the size of the leaves, that is not a strong trait for ID'ing banana plants.

I did get it as Manzano and I do have Praying Hands.It was just that most photos I see of Manzano looked to have broader leaves. We'll call it Manzano . Thanks
