My subject says it all. I got this banana from someone and it's my first. From what I'm reading it should be a Musa Basjoo, but I'm not 100% sure. I'm probably going to put it in a bigger pot at the end of the summer. Now with the pictures...

Out of curiosity, how do you know? Is it the raised veins in the leaf or the red midrib, or something else?

It's the color in the center and the texture of the leaves, kind of thinner than a regular banana, and the color of the basjoo is a little different. Besides I see them on a regular basis everyday. They are distinctive looking compared to other bananas.
