I've been watching this mat for 2 years and every time there is a bunch someone cuts it down in less than 2 months.

Well this time things have changed!!!
I saw this flower 3 months ago and was SHOCKED to see them still hanging.
Not as shocked as the guy who waited till tomorrow MUHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!

Behold the booty, then tell me what they are !!
the pstem is around 7-9ft
there is a subtle pink hue to the petioles which appear to be quite open with a little pink fringe like a cavendish type
I want to say D Namwah based on the fruit, but the plant has much more pink than any of mine.
Notice the last pic shows pink in the flag leaf petiole, this is the sort in the entire top of the plant.
Pstem green but petioles red?

posting more pics in a minute

It's really hard to tell. Can you get a close up of the bunch and male bud?

Well how silly of me.

You have also just helped RE-identify MY Manzano to a YGROWSBSA Orinoco.

Buggers... and it came from a reputable supplier...
