Default Is this a Rajapuri?

Hello

I was driving around some nursery's out by me today, and found some Banana's at one.They Had Musa Rajapuri,Mysore,Cardaba and the Ladyfinger selling for $30.00 for a 5 gallon pot.I picked up the Rajapuri over the other one's maybe I should pick up the Cardaba.I live in zone 9-11.Can anyone please tell me if this looks like a Rajapuri.I just have this problem making sure that they are not mislabled at the nursery.They say that there has never been any mixed up from there supplier.Please let me know.

Thank you very much,

Mitch

Looks reasonably close to me. Mine looks very similar to yours. Hard to be exactly sure though at such a young stage of development.

Bigdog,

Thank you for your help in identifying the Rajapuri.The nursery says it is and has had no mix ups from the supplier so I will just have to trust them.

Thank's alot,

Mitch

Looks right to me. They have larger floppy leaves at that stage, really wide ones from what I've noticed on the ones I'm growing out.
