Hi, does anyone have a clue what type of banana this is? Its from Bali, Indonesia, but I unfortunately forgot it's name. It's not in the greatest condition (has been overwintered indoors and did not get the best of care). Hopefully it will like the spring weather better :)

I would say Red Iholene on the first sight, but maybe this can help you better

There is no way to ID it at this stage, and Indonesia has a very high diversity of bananas, not even everything is documented, if you forgot the name you're very unlikely to come across on the internet. Names arent very useful often anyway, they arent official and the same plant can have many names, and the same name can be used for many different plants.


Looks to be an AA type, which is more or less a junk drawer of diversity with a vast array of different genetic clusters and types, but probably as close of a proper ID as you can expect from the info we have.

Guess I'll have to wait how it matures then..The most curious I am is how tall it will grow since I will have to overwinter it inside....We'll see. The plant is anyway a nice one, with or without name :ha: thank you all for your messages!
