I got an email from Top Tropicals today and they had a banana listed as Musa 'Mini Thimble'. Has anyone heard of it?

I have seen this novelty plant before sold on the internet as a musa look alike but for the life of me cannot recall where.

I do not think it is what they(the internet) say it is.
It is a awesome nolvety plant tough.

The one pic with all the tiny bunches just looks fake to me.
