Nice! Whatever lab is distributing these plants has some off type in their line, I got one too awhile ago but it was accidentally killed. Definitely keep it, I was always curious how it would mature.

This one, I believe I can refer it to a plant I know, but it does not have a proper name. I have shown photos and asked many experts and no one knows what it really is. The one I have is an edible variety. Sometimes it is labeled as M. acuminata subsp. zebrina or sumatrana, but it is not. It may be what is called 'Sumatrana X Gran Nain', but even that plant is somewhat mysterious.

Can you say for sure what it is NOT?

I actually have 40-50 of these growing in a field. A friend of mine got one from going bananas(who also gets stuff from agristarts) and his had just started flowering at about 7' tall. I'll have to stop by his place again and see what is going on.

Yes, the top one looks like a sxgn or possibly a zebrina could be rowe red they look similar. It's not a bordelon. or a fhia 17.
The second one might very well be a hua moa, it has the correct "frosty back of the leaf color" but it looks like it has that problem where the pstem doesn't hold together correctly. Has it been in a lot of wind? I've had ones that were splitting like that recover when I tied the top of the pstem together with an old shriveled banana leaf or a piece of twine whichever is more handy.
