Hey Guys was doing some research on this plant and noticed my plant doesnt look like the others.It is unique to other bananas in my yard, it has fat rounder leaves and seems to be more stockier.Is this plant a Raja Purihttp://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=19176&size=1[/url[url=http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=19178&ppuser=3890]http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=19178&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=19176&ppuser=3890)

This is a pic of my Dwarf reds.These two plants have no matching features.But both plants were ordered from places that are known to send the wrong thinghttp://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=19180&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=19180&ppuser=3890)

The ones you are calling 'Dwarf Red's look more like 'Tall Red' or 'Kru' to me. I grow 'Dw. Red' and the bananas in your pics from your last post definitely do not look like my 'Dwarf Reds' but they do look like the plants in your first post.
Perhaps someone else can weigh in on this as well as I'm not 100% certain.

The first plant that you ask is Raja Puri is Most likely Dwarf Cavendish Mine looks exactly the same with large green leaves and th mottled red stem. Im not completely sure on the second.

Hmmm...I'm no expert, by any means, but that's exactly what I was thinking based on the pics/description. The red pseudostem and the fat leaves seem to sway me in that direction. Again, not an expert, though. They look kinda like this pic from the wiki:

I think your right. My Dwarf Cavendish Has solid Green mature leaves on older plants. but younger smaller leaves still on plant display red mottling.
Thanks

My SDC has red mottling as well but the mature leaves fade to solid green.

That does not look like my Raji Puri--mine is stocky like the one in the picture, but has no red on the pseudostem.
This is my Raji Puri.

Exactly, that's what I was trying to say in my first post...'Raja Puri' does not have red pstems. That's why I think the plant in the original post is 'Dwarf Red".
My 'RP' looks much like yours, sbl.

Hey guys had to leave town again.I think that my "Raja" is a Dwarf red. All descriptions match. So now I want to know what the other is.It matches descriptions of Kruhttp://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=19632&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=19632&ppuser=3890)This pic is the two plants together.Dwarf red on the left and the one that I thought was a dwarf red on the right. This pic shows that the only similarities are the red colorhttp://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=19631&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=19631&ppuser=3890)
