Simply Bananas

Downtown Charleston has a lot of intimate courtyards that occasionally are exempt from hard freezes. Often banana plants make it through the winter without losing any leaves.
This banana was found on a trash pile by a friend and replanted. It now has this fruit. It seems different from orinocos that are common. I told him about cutting off the male bud, but he may have done it too close. Any ideas on what this might be?
