Wish could help with the ID. My grain nain looked similar. I am sure you will find out soon from one of our nana gurus. Congrats sailfish

Thanks Mike.

Anyone else care to make a guess?

Throw a few varieties out there and i'll research, maybe I can narrow it down.

Would more pics help??

your leaves are wide and have a have a yellow midrib too??
give us a wide shot of the entire plant..around 5 foot tall??? i have something that matches the height description. i just saw a flag leaf today. if i have a flower that looks like that i wouldnt be surprised.

Here you go.
I have 3 of these unknowns together. One has already bloomed.
This pic is the second tree it too has a bloom just about to turn down!

Sorry for the poor quality

RP was going to be my guess, but the bananas don't quite look like mine. I posted a picture of my flower on the wiki page.

A Dwarf Cavendish form. There are few different ones in the US that vary in height and bunch size, but they are all rather similar. They normally fruit from 3-6ft.

First harvest was just about 90 days.

I ate a bunch last week of these.

Quite sweet actually, yummy was my kids definition.
