Hi
I'm trying to work out what characteristics differentiate a GM clump from a Cavendish (or any other type). What Ive noticed is the following:
1. GM has reddish blemishes trunks and leaf stalks
2. GM is a bit more of an open clump than Canvendish, more akin to Lady Finger
3. GM grows a lot taller (?) than Cavendish (not sure on this last point)

My GMs haven't reached maturity yet so their characteristics aren't fully developed

Any other observations would be appreciated:waving:
