sorry buddy, you have to do it the hard way. take pictures when they are fruiting, post the pics in banana identification and see what they say.

here is a picture that if anybody here can tell me what this banana is i will give away with shipping one of its sisters.

The variegation looks like "Tanee" but the red leaf petiole and width of leaf to length ratio looks a little off. The red petiole seems to fade away on yours and some of the lower leaves look more in line with Tanee. Of course a lot of those are seed grown and so variable. Could very well be a hybrid. Beautiful clone though.

Welcome to the group! Identifying banana plants can be fun. I'd suggest checking out gardening books or websites like https://www.growgardener.com/the-duck-flower/. They often have charts and detailed photos to help you distinguish between different banana plant varieties. I've found them super helpful in my gardening adventures. Happy plant hunting!
