Banana ID please :)
Hi
I am in Australia, on the west coast where we have very limited access to named and proven types of bananas. I bought this one from a local rare fruit grower as a 'Blue Java' but I am not convinced and thought I would put the pics up here to see what it might be? Here are the pictures I have so far: Banana Gallery - Banana from Local Supplier It fruited this year for the first time, height at fruiting is 3.2m - 10ft (colder climate here). Hope the link works - new to this Thank you for your help Last edited by Wandering : 06-11-2017 at 06:25 AM. |

Re: Banana ID please :)
It's for sure not a blue java ice cream. I agree looks more like a namwa to me also. Great banana congrats!

Re: Banana ID please :)
It's not Pisang Awak/"Namwah". Doesn't look exactly like Ice Cream, but closer to that than Pisang Awak. Looks to be in the Bluggoe ("Orinoco") / Ney Mannan ("Ice Cream") range, but I'm not sure. Gabe?

Re: Banana ID please :)
The plant looks healthy - do you put fertilizer around it?

Re: Banana ID please :)
Narnia - Yes I do regularly fertilise it and it gets a decent amount of water for our climate (hot and dry in summer, cool and wet in winter).
Thanks all for your ideas on what it could be We have Namwah types here (called Ducasse here in Oz) and this one is different to my dwarf Namwah (much taller and more slender), and the fruit looks a different shape to the Namwah I have seen here. This fruit is more angular than I thought Namwah are. But I am new to all this |

Re: Banana ID please :)
I also have one named 'Lady Finger' here too, which I am not sure if it is a true lady finger or not
We also have one of the cavendish types, that seems to be a dwarf cavendish that goes by the name of Canarvon banana here. And I have a pup of one locally sourced called 'Goldfinger' which I am not sure is the same as the real Goldfinger. Plus I have what we call dwarf ducasse (dwarf namwah), dwarf red dacca and tissue culture blue java - who I am hoping will flower next year so I can compare to my unknown blue java. |

Re: Banana ID please :)
Just wondering if there are any further thoughts on my mystery banana? The fruit has held on all winter (Australia) which is nice, I am hoping it will ripen soon!

Re: Banana ID please :)
Not really, the bananas have just held pretty much the same size and shape through out winter. I am just curious if they are a type of bluggoe as you suggested and what type of bluggoe they might be?
We have so few known proven varieties where I am it is hard to know what they could be as they still do not have the blue colour of the blue java, and are more angular than I thought NamWah are. |
