Can anyone tell me what kind of banana tree this is? It's a fast grower (up from a root ball this spring after I cut it down last fall).

Whole plant...

Thanks! The kids had a good time with Dad taking down the tree for the winter.

Not sure, but it look like Belle to me. Looks just like mine, except your leaves are larger.
Nice looking banana plant.

I think its much too generic looking to give any positive IDs at this point. Just going to have to wait until it flowers to get any ID.
