Hello All,

I've been growing these bananas for several years. The person that gave me my original one did not know the variety. I am posting pictures of them here to help identify they type that they are. The fruit is smaller, not really big enough to eat. They have grown to about 10-12ft tall or so.

Thanks HMelendez!

This helps to solve the mystery! I've now been replacing some of these with other varieties because I was looking for something different. It's a great tropical looking plant for the yard. Thanks again!
