What(kind) is this Banana plant?

jimhardy · 09-01-2010, 06:03 PM

I tried this last year but still not sure,it is a beauty and has really grown this summer!

Planted on 4-9-10

Here's what they look like now-last full leaf approx 6' long and 32" wide-
really pretty leaf!

Growth point and trunk

4" pot next to trunk-like it matters(-:

4' high to the top of the shovel-

Thanks for looking!

Def not in the Cavendish family. Gabe will probably have some idea for you.

rick2001 · 09-02-2010, 03:26 AM

Orinoco ?

Gabe15 · 09-02-2010, 11:53 AM

It definitely has traits which narrow it down some, but there is still a lot of cultivars it could be. You need to have it flower in order for a proper ID.

How about narrowing it down to 3 possibles,since I have NO idea(-;

Gabe15 · 09-02-2010, 06:05 PM

If we narrow it down to three, that doesn't mean it will necessarily be any of those 3, and at this point they would be almost random guesses. If it means anything to you, it looks like is likely an ABB type, but that still leaves a lot of possibilities.

Thanks- whats ABB?

jimhardy · 09-10-2010, 05:40 PM

Thanks -that would be nice because I tried to find some this spring and could not

jimhardy · 09-16-2010, 04:27 PM

Maybe this Nanar will get I.D.ed this year after all!-LOL

jimhardy · 09-24-2010, 12:18 PM

I posted pics last year and this year and was told........
you have to wait until it flowers,I didn't hold much hope for that but..........

Much to my surprise,it did send out a bloom-stalk-it's getting late in z5 Iowa,would appreciate any help(-:

Thanks guys/gals!

Gabe15 · 09-24-2010, 12:44 PM

It's still a little early at this point, keep posting photos as it develops.

jimhardy · 09-24-2010, 12:52 PM

Oh,I will until it has ice on it!

Bananaman88 · 09-24-2010, 02:28 PM

Some clear close ups of the actual flowers will help once the start to develop.

jimhardy · 09-24-2010, 04:42 PM

I got some today,I hope they are clear enough.
I will post then later tonight.

jimhardy · 09-24-2010, 07:25 PM
