So I am back at the home of the the original unknown red banana, and there was a another plant that had a bunch ready to harvest, so I will be harvesting it :08: but I have NO idea what variety it is. I think maybe some Fhia cultivar but need guidance. Here are the pics. Let me know if you need other views of the plant.

Im a little stumped actually, it has a rather unusual bunch appearance, very few but very large fruits. At first I was thinking Cavendish upon seeing the fruit, but the bud is not right. It could potentially be a Goldfinger (FHIA-01) off-type, there are many and they vary considerably.
