About the banana plant -
It was transplanted as a pup into this 5-gallon pot on August 2, 2010.
It is a fruiting hybrid, not a Musa species.
It is listed in the Bananas.org Wiki (http://www.bananas.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Allpages).
The first person to correctly guess the name of this banana cultivar pictured below wins a free banana plant of their choice (including shipping to most countries) from a list that includes this particular individual and other 2-gallon size plants I have available to give away at the time.
Here are the contest rules:

No deadline :)
Also, since it is listed in the Wiki someone will get it by process of elimination.

O.K. folks, for all but a few of us it is getting mighty cold to plant or even ship plants without precautions. I'm going to wait until spring until my next "Guess Banana Variety" contest, but in the meantime ... hmm ... maybe someone has an idea for a contest of a different sort!
