Default could you please help me ID this pup?

Hello,

Could you help me identify this pup? I ordered it online from a farmer in the South--it's supposed to be "California Gold" which is related to Dwarf Orinoco but hardier. Because I live in N. Carolina the hardy fruiting capabilities really attracted me. But I have doubts that it's really Cal Gold.

Here's a link to picks: https://www.flickr.com/photos/298613...res/09Z5W14WL9

Thanks in advance for your reactions or thoughts on this!

-Dave

It's really hard to tell a bananas ID until it flowers. Did you order it from a seller in Georgia? Lots of bananas should be able to flower in Raleigh if given good care and protection.

Hi,

I ordered it via Ebay from Florida. Those pink leaf edges--would you think they're still possible on Cal Gold?

Thank you

I have never grown Cali Gold so can not tell you whether they have red edges or not. I did a quick search of their pics on line and did not see the red. Maybe someone who has grown them will chime in. I will say that bananas have been a mixed up ID mess forever when buying. Best place to buy is from members of this forum.
