I've had this plant for almost 2 years. Is this a grand nain? I'm getting impatient! No bananas....yet. The plant is about 86" tall. Pictures are posted in my photo gallery.

You post those by right clicking on the picture; then click 'copy image location'. Then click on the 'insert image' icon in the message box and paste the link.
OR ... you can do it manually by typing " URL-img" and paste the image link between the tags. There are no spaces within the bb-code img tags and the url MUST be the image itself; not a reference link.

Those are nice looking plants. To fruit they are not in a big enough container; thus they do not get enough water or nutrients due to the smaller pot. You need a pot about 25 gallons in size.
Now as to if those are Grand Nains. My GN is much bigger (3 or 4 Xs) in the pstem in the 12 months it has grown outside. Also, the 1st plant leaves are very tightly stacked at the top (???); Might be it is getting ready to fruit (???) a small bunch. Look for a short flag leaf about 1/2 or more than the other leaves. The plants need more potassium fertilizer to aid fruiting and warmth (upper 80°s) and bigger pot.
I can't say these are Grand Nains, I have to compare to mine tomorrow.

Gran nain is reddish at the base. Those are green.
