Pls id this banana plant...

Hi banana gurus,

Would you know what banana is this? This mystery musa is growing in my parents' garden. The tip of the tree is almost 2 storeys high, the cross-section of the fruits are angular. When ripe, it's light, dusky yellow in colour, not like the bright yellow sort one sees at supermarkets/markets.

Here's the whole plant. The stone wall is about 5' tall.

The fruits:

Thanks!

ur banana pic look like "pisang nangka" ..maybe "pisang kepok" is "pisang nangka" ... correct me if im wrong ..sahabatku pak Novi ..

Musa paradisiaca L

in malaysia "pisang nangka" taste sweet and sour ..
also bit smell and taste like "nangka" ---> Leucaena leucocephala (jackfruit)

Malaysia and Indonesia use same language ..however, there were very few dialectal differences and intonation.

Those are real beauties!!

Perhaps I should describe the characteristics of the fruit that I've encounted. They have a drier texture similar to those del monte bananas, slightly astringent when not completely ripe. However, when well ripe, it is sweet, but not the in-your-face sweetness of pisang mas. There is a slight flavour of nangka; a colleague actually asked if the banana was grown near a jackfruit tree!

I tried grilling a few of them, they seem to harden up. An aunt had a few uncooked bananas at a go and noticed that her poo had turned white......ok ok, too much information!
