Hi friends,
I have another banana that I like to know its name.

The above is the whole picture of a young sucker. The midrib of the surface
and the back of the leaves is slightly reddish.

This is the flowering of the banana.

This is the fruiting of this banana. The height of the stem where the flower
sprouted is abt 9ft. This is not a big tree, but fairly fat.

Can these infos help you to identify the banana, or you need more?

Were the female flowers yellow? If so, here they sell plants under the name of Musa x paridasiaca which flower like that, have waxy stems like that and leaves like that and in fact, look just like that but usually rather less compact. Were the bananas desert bananas or plantains?

Could possibly be M Orinoco but I expect there are quite a few other possibilities I have not seen in flower.
