Need assistance
This mat is in a Ft Pierce Garden Society's members back yard zone 10-11 coastal.
The small mat has produced fruit in the past and is 10+years old. Homeowner says the fruit is nice and sweet The mat is in a clump 4x5. Locally dwarf varieties are sold at better nurseries. Homeowner does not have photos of fruit. Plants are 5-7 ft tall with the 5 footer tossing a 13+inch flower. Bracts are not open yet. Here are some photos. Never mind my handbag..:) Thanks in advance for your answers:nanadrink: . Unknown variety by Hostafarian, on Flickr .

Short stout growth with a near dwarf habit in the top along with wide leaves and sweet fruit... I am going to go with 3640....
It seems a bit short for that, though... Just a guess. No red, either. It's nothing I am familiar with, although it looks similar to 3640 in growth but not color or height. Mine fruited at 8 ft. and looks similar to GM in coloring. (Red on the petioles, etc.) Wide leaves, though. (I am thinking in print here.) Not 3640. |
Re: Need assistance
Most likely 'Dwarf Namwah' aka 'Kluai Namwah Khom'. Could be 'Dwarf Orinoco', but I'd bet on Namwah from the photos provided.

Re: Need assistance
Thanks fellas,:)
Also judging from the common type plants in the rest of the yard my guess this is a common banana plant for the area. I will try to update once the flower opens and fruit starts to fill out. |
