Re: Blackish banana ID?
I'm not really sure, but Musa Ice cream was growing there also, so at least to whatever zone that is. I actually thought this was a type of ice cream because the fruit has a sort of off color to it, but not as silver.

Re: Blackish banana ID?
I would think, based on leaf bases, fruit size/shape, and pseudostem coloration, that it is in the Musa acuminata group. That's about all I've got, lol. Thanks for all the pics, Kyle! Are you really living in Mexico now? Geez, Montana not warm enough for you?

Re: Blackish banana ID?
Yep, been here almost 2 months, and surviving the humid heat pretty well without AC, but the banana plants seem to like it hot and muggy like this.
