I recently bought a banana tree from Walmart. It didn't have any tags or a way to identify it besides Banana Musa in small print next to the barcode. It's obviously a banana plant, but I need to know which kind in order to take care of it the best I can. Any help is appreciated.

I have some pictures, I tried to take pics from different angles, including under the leaves. If more info is needed just let me know. Thanks!

Here is a link to the pictures.

Wow, the baby plants actually look a lot like mine. Thank you very much!! I'm so excited that it will remain relatively small, as living in an apartment does not offer much for gardening.
