Default Dwarf apple?
I am still trying to understand and differentiate a true apple, silk banana, and the Brazilian apple banana, if this is even right.

So, I got this from a friend, had it contained for 3 or so months at least, then popped it in the ground around earth day.
Now I'm doing more research on the diversity in bananas genetics, and am not sure what we have here.

Are there any particular shots that are helpful for identification? I try to show many angles but I know there are many characters, 13 is it?

Yes, but they are mostly of mature plants with fruit and male flowers. It is hard to narrow small ones down to a single cultivar unless you already know what the possible options are and there aren't too many options.

To me, yours doesn't look like anything with "apple" in the name. Looks more like a Cavendish or some other AAA variety to me.

True apple (Manzano) is in the Silk subgroup, which contains other similar cultivars, including Silk. Brazilian (="Hawaiian Apple") is in the Pome subgroup. Both subgroups have AAB genomes. The fruit of Pome and Silk bananas are easy to tell apart when you're eating them, but I don't find the plants easy to tell apart.

I'm relatively new to bananas and to this forum.....Based on your pic's your plant looks a lot like my California Gold (Orinoco) .... simply based on your pics....
In being a novice, I feel certain there are likely numerous species that resemble mine as well as yours. I'm certain with the array of talent on this forum you won't likely have any problem.
Good luck...please keep us posted.

Fish Asante's photos are definitely not Orinco/California Gold. Those Bluggoe subgroup varieties have no wines stains on the leaves (those maroon marks on the leaves) and have closed petioles.
