This is one of my bananas that had ID tags that came off during storage. This one now has a size that hopefully someone can help me ID?

Namwah is my guess with the round leaves and p-stem color.

The possiilities are-Orinoco, DO, SR, Zebrina, DC, Sikkim Darjeeling Giant, Mekong Giant, Bordelon. Obviously I'm excluding the SR and Zebrina. The lack of red on the leaf back excludes the Bordelon. However, I have 3 others that are all up in groups of 3 and all have the juvenile red streaks, about a foot tall each, like DC, but I didn't have that many DC. I also have 2 that just popped and have very slender leaves, but only 3 leaves so far, so will wait on pics.

I don't see the red of a typical DO. It ain't no DC since no red in the stem unless it unique.. lol I don't know jack about non etibles or seeded but it sure looks healthy :^)

The only red is the edging of the leaf margins, and a tad at the base of the p-stem.

If those are really the only possibilities, then it is definitely Dwarf Orinoco. It can't be any of the others.

Thanks all for the help. Good to know the DO made it through the winter; I've had it for 3 years. The other unknowns will have pics posted when they are large enough. Thanks again everybody.
