Default Corsican cold hardy clone ?
Goodmorning,

Here is a Corsica garden cultivated banana.
This clone withstand -5°C (22 F) and regrow vigourously the next spring.
The owner has got an idea about what it is but I don’t want to tell you now to make the identification more acurate.
Could you tell me please, according to you, what it is ?
Thanks for help,

Phil

I was thinking the same thing (Orinoko). Gabe will probably chime in. He's the resident ID expert.

Like both Tony and Mitchel say, Gabe is the expert and I hope he will chime in, but I agree, it looks like Orinoco to me.

Thanks Mark,

Let's wait a little bit more.

PS : Did you notice the wasps (not bees) on the flowers ?
It is the first time I see wasps foraging a flower !

Would Orinoko tolerate 22F and produce fruit?

I have watched wasps searching for food on flowers. Wasps eat insects. Flowers are a good place to forage.

I have also watched a hornet skin a catapiller, then carry of the contents.
