Re: Ladyfinger ?
Could be anything. From that distance, looks like an ABB cultivar, which wouldn't include most of the 531 varieties sometimes called Ladyfinger. (Just kidding about the number, but there's a lot.) Aside from in Australia, where Lady Finger is used very specifically to refer to a Pome variety that is very similar to tall Brazilian, the name Ladyfinger is applied willy nilly to just about any banana with small fruit.

Re: Ladyfinger ?
Looks like it has mostly closed petiole canals and has very little in the way of dark splotches on the pstem or color along the petioles. All good indicators of an ABB variety -- like Orinoco.

Re: Ladyfinger ?
Yeah, I'd have to agree that it looks a lot like Orinoco....The color of the pseudostem isn't quite right for Namwah.
