So what is this one?
It was sold to me as a Black Thai, but it's not black and so i guess it's really not a Black Thai. Any banana experts wanna take a guess?? Thanks! Also it's about 5/6' in that picture.

Re: So what is this one?
It looks like it could possibly be M. balbisiana still. 'Thai Black' is a form of M. balbisiana. It is possible your plant was mixed up, or I suppose it's also possible that it is a green mutant. Very often, bananas are tissue cultured too much (meaning too many subculture cycles without restarting lines from field grown plants) and the mutation rates go way up. Loss of pigmentation is a very common mutation in this situation.
