Neighbors unknown banana
 

I was at a guys house yesterday and his neighbor has a banana tree but don't know what variety. It was quite short, about 5ft tall. But that could be cause it's mostly in the shade. Here's a pic with the fruit though. Tell me what you think... I might ask for a pup depending on what it is :)

Here's a closer look at the fruit. Does it look like raja puri fruit?

Re: Neighbors unknown banana
 

Rajapuri does seem likely given the height and appearance of the plant and fruit.

it looks like an orinoco. But I am no expert.

X3 on Raja Puri
The fact that it does not drop any bracts of the inflorescence is an indicator that it could be a Raja Puri.

Raja puri it is :) thanks!!

I wouldn't bet my life on it, but that seems pretty likely. A more robust plant and bunch would make it a little more definite. If you get one, and the bud is massive for the size of the plant when it emerges, then you can be pretty sure it's Rajapuri.
