I honestly thought this was damaged as it grew under the plastic this winter, but it appears to be a Hardy "ice cream" banana.https://photos.app.goo.gl/oz3ZBxC6bq2bqDJz6

Nice looking healthy plant - I'm no expert on 'ice creams' having unsuccessfully purchased or traded for a blue java 4 times now. Your ice cream looks like a namwa to me.
