Banana ID Help. Some dwarf variety?

Cosmo · 11-13-2019, 07:15 PM

Greetings. I've had this one for just over a year. Seems to be a dwarf variety, as my Reds, Praying Hands, Blue Java have all surpassed this one's height. Measures about 4 1/2 - 5 ft at the top psuedostem. Any ideas?

Well........ my first idea is of course dwarf cavendish. It doesn’t look QUITE like it, but my second idea is super dwarf cavendish. Ya looking back to ME the trunk looks too thick for dwarf cavendish....... hope this helps

Trunk is roughly 8-10 inches in diameter

If it helps at all, leaves had red markings when it was first planted. The only other variety I've had that with is Goldfinger. Also, it's always been pushing out a few sword suckers, even when it was under 2 Ft. Here's an older pic of it being first planted:

It's a normal 'Dwarf Cavendish'
