Looks like Musa 'Bordelon', and if the leaf in your avatar picture is of the same plant, then that confirms it for sure.

If it is a Musa 'Bordelon', how long does it take the fruit to ripen? I'm wondering if I have enough season left or will it freeze before hand? Thanks for the help. Red

Bordelon's are inedible.

Congrats!! I saw a couple banana plants not long ago on clearence at a nearby nursery that looked like that and there wasn't a name on it. I am going to go back and see if they are still there as I wanted the price to drop more. Your flowers are beautiful! Nice to know what it is now.
