Default What kind of banana?



This past summer I posted about a banana tree that came into bloom. I thought if I posted a better photo some one might tell me the variety

can you post a picture of the actual plant? If this is something you've been growing outdoors, most likely it is an orinoco.

We neglected the tree because we were going to compost it. It grew to 16' and would not fit back in the greenhouse in the fall.



The bananas had 3 "sides" They never developed ~ never grew. Subsequent flowers that opened just fell off.

I just pitched the immature banana in the garbage today. After being in the house as per other directions that I read, they rotted away. They grew to about 3 inches and just stopped



TIA
