I removed two bananas that are fruiting to die being too large next to my house. I’ve got oneo more fruiting banana that is the same variety as this one. Does anyone know what it is? Roughly 15 ft tall

Gotcha. So that’s a really good thing! It sucks I had to dig two of them up - oh well. Hopefully I’ll be able to eat one bunch of it ripens one summer

It doesn't exactly look like a typical tall namwa to me. The bunch is very messy with retained dried up petals and it looks like it has retained a lot of the male flowers. This could be caused by cooler than normal conditions when it flowered. Additionally, (although it may be the angle of the photo) the male flower itself also seems very round and not as elongated which is more typical in my patch. The bananas also seem to angle more out and away then up and folded back but I guess its a new bunch. Lastly my namwa pstems although containing a great deal of green have a bit of brown/red in the main pstem which is not evident in the pstems presented.

Here are some recent shots. It’s getting a little more plump with our first couple weeks of warm weather. It has a green blue hue to the fruit color.

The other poster asked for a pic of the flower. I don’t have an image of when it first flowered (that I can find) but this flower should be of the same variety.
