Default Is this Pitogo?
My wife and her colleague are in Panama for work and came across this banana in a botanic garden. Looks most similar to Pitogo to me. Anyone feel confident about identifying it?

It does a bit, but the Saba I've seen have had longer fruit and the plants were taller.

I don't think it is Saba. In Panama the base of the plants would be 2' or wider and the height would be spectacular.
