I believe its probably a Pisang Awak variety but wanted to check and if possible reach a variety ID as well?
The plant reaches 4,5 meters pseudo stem height. Its probably the same colorful plant that usually sells as Ice Cream banana but is not

Here are some photos

Thank you very much in advance!

By chance could you tell us how tall the building next to the plant is? As an American, I had to convert the meters into feet, and you said it looks about 14.5-ish. To me, if that building is an average 10ft high, then it looks like the plant might be around 17-18ft tall. But if that isn't a building, and just a waist high wall, then I'd understand the 15 feet.

Seems like you have a pretty accurate idea for what it might be though. The fruit doesn't look small and chubby like the ladyfinger* varieties including the Namwah and Blue Java (ice cream varieties), doesnt look tall enough to be a Saba, fruit doesn't look to be growing at a right angle like the Iholena varieties. (Btw if anyone is reading this and sells Iholena I'm looking for one)

Pisang Raja is a couple feet shorter than the Awak if I remember correctly.

Hope this bumps the post!

Height isn't reliable as an identifying trait unfortunately, a ±2 foot difference from average is common.

Fruit size and fill is also highly variable depending on growth conditions, so it's a detail that is considered but not definitive.

Pisang Raja has U-shaped petiolar canals, whereas Namwa and Blue Java have closed canals. I can't see the canal shape well in any of the photos, so I'll skip that detail for now. Here's a link to some info and photos on Pisang Raja:

The fused knuckles and purple color on freshly emerged pedicels are traits of Namwa.

Thank you very much for your replies!

That building is around 9-10ft high. The bunch hangs about 1-1,5meters(3-5ft) above the building. So i guess that makes the banana pseudo stem around 4,5-5meters tall

The petiole canals are closed
