Re: Black Banana?
Could be Ele'ele, aka 'Hawaiian Black'. Ele'ele means black in Hawaiian and its not that rare of a variety.

Re: Black Banana?
Hmm okay. To me wasn't really anything special but was different having a black trunk. It was a good 8-10ft tall in a pot. Thanks for the ID Gabe.

Re: Black Banana?
Could be Thai Black (Black Thai).
Maybe it is age (my Thai is much bigger than my Hawaiian), pH, minerals, sun, misidentification, whatever, but my Thai has a very dark blackish-purple p-stem but my Hawaiian Black just has black racing stripes on the petioles ... same or less than the ones in the wiki: Musa balbisiana 'Black Thai' - Bananas Wiki Musa Ele Ele - Bananas Wiki

Re: Black Banana?
I've seen a couple of Thai Blacks for sale in nurseries recently. Never seen an Ele Ele for sale.

Re: Black Banana?
It had darker skin then those. It was for sale I forget how much. I want to say $50.00 or more. There is a place in right outside of Emearld Isle called Frans Nursery right before you go over the big bridge to Emearld Isle on the right. Thats a long hike for you fishoifc but a nice road trip
