Default ID for this plantain

Found this plantain growing in an abandoned lot. Any ideas what variety it might be?

Hi John!



How are you doing buddy!....I haven’t talk to you for a while!....It looks like Musa Congo 300 Plantain to me!....The “bid daddy” of Musa Plantain Varieties!....Originally from Africa!....Congo 300 has been used to create other Plantain Varieties, like the Puerto Rican own/native Maricongo Plantain!...

Maricongo is composed by two words.....
Mari = surrounded by sea, created in the island of Puerto Rico....
Congo = in memory of the original “big daddy” Plantain!.....



I want one!...Save me a pup!....Hopefully it helps!....

What’s up John!! Hope all is good down in paradise!

Looks to be either a Musa Congo like Hector said or even a tall superplantain! For sure a french type bunch! The French types are my favorites and very productive for me!

Hey TY, happy new year. All is well here and the drought finally ended. Got a bunch of pups from this mat now and have one for you. Also have a bunch of others to send to you but two attempts and can't get them out. Not as easy as i thought.

Occasionally, a regular plantain will revert to a french type plantain. I had one on the farm for years, I think I must have lost it in Matthew or Irma, because I haven't seen it in a while.
