So I found these at a a local garden center with a most useless tag. These three were indoors but they had 2 more outside with the same tags being sold as annuals. Anyone know what they are?

Thanks,

I'd say it's a musa sp. Lol!!!! Just kidding. Looks cavendish but I'm not an expert. Not even close! Could you take a pic of the other side of the label? I think I know who the producer is and already spoke to him a few months ago. Very nice guy. Had no idea of the variety but supposed to produce good tasting seedless bananas... Need to see the tag to confirm...

I was wrong... I do not know this tag... But my guess is still cavendish.
Why not ask the garden center who they purchased it from? They may not tell you but might if you explain that you'd like to know more about your plant. Unfortunately the grower may not know what they grew but it's worth a shot.

Tried that before I bought them. No dice.
Tried that before I bought them. No dice.I find it very interesting that the name of the grower isn't identified on the pot or label; sometimes it takes a bit of backing into it but I know that information for all the plants I've purchased. I have a pomegranate that I bought at Lowes a couple of years ago that did not specify the variety; from the tag I found the grower's site. Except all they grow are flowers! So I sent an e-mail asking if I had the right company and, if so, what was the variety. A nice lady replied with the information.

I was at Home Depot tonight and they have the same bananas but from a different grower. Only problem is they were labeled 'Aybsinian' and I know that these aren't Ensete ventricosum. So still no further along.

So still no further along.I really was trying to help. I searched that tagline to no avail; it's too generic. I also tried part of the care instructions in quotes. Nada. With the mottled leaves, they look like Cavendish to me but then that's a safe guess for unnamed plants down here. Someone who knows their bananas will eventually check in I'm sure.

The mystery nanners seem to be growing well each have 2 pups on them now that are bigger than the mother plants were when I bought them. I am still looking for an ID though?

Most likely Cavendish, it has Super Dwarf Cavendish looking, short Petioles, but may grow out of that. But the leaves are not fat enough, and too narrow, I say........... Regular Dwarf Cavendish. But then again, it could be an Enano Gigante (Cavendish type) like the one I bought from Lowes, whatever it is, its pretty safe to say its Cavendishy lol.
