I was in Maui in November and brought home a pup. Does anyone have an idea as to what the variety may be?

Looks like it could be 'Orinoco', the form I've seen in Hawai'i (usually called 'Largo') may differ a little from the common one on the mainland, I haven't seen both of them enough up close to say how different they may or may not be though. But since the bunch is undeveloped and not a good close up I dont want to say that its for sure, do you have any other photos, maybe some of developed fruit?

Hello Gabe,
Unfortunately this is the only picture. I have dwarf Orinoco growing here and the Maui plants were much taller. The pup is growing fast. Would a picture of it help?
Thanks so much,

The pup photo wont help much. Orinoco is much taller than Dwarf Orinoco, so it could still be a possibility.

I will wait for a flower and fruit and then post more pictures.
