Sorry Mackaru - I can't help you with these - but can you get a pup or small plant locally?

Clueless without seeing pstem, leaves and a flower. So many fruits look the same that it is nearly impossible to say for certain.
Good luck!

It looks like ye olde garden variety Latin American Plantain; I believe the cultivar is called Musa 'Super Plantain'

No clue. I only ever deal with pups, and then only on the contients of the Western Hemisphere. However, it is the most common plantain out there.
