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?

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

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

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.
