This cold hardy banana was given to me. Any thoughts on its identity?

Thanks Paul

Paul, What is your zone? When I think "cold hardy" I think Basjoo, Sikkimensis, and Lasiocarpa. It's not #1 or #3, and can't say about 2. First year with Sikk. but it does seem to have burgundy under the leaves. Can we see some more pics?
