]Its supposed to be a raja puri, but I really don't know how to truly identify it.



Can you post a picture of yours?
I have only owned this plant since this april. I read somewhere that the best way to positively identify this variety is by its fruit.

How long have you had your plant?
Is that a current picture? How fast does it unravel a new leaf.
Do the edges of your leaf have a red stripe? mine do.

i noticed the tip of your largest leaf in the picture seems to have a much sharper point. my leafs tend to be a bit more blunt. I know it is probably silly to assume that all the true characteristics of a plant will show correctly on something that is so young, so the shape of a leaf is not likely the best method of identifying something.

I've only had it about two weeks.
It does have the pink/red rim on the outer edge of the leaf and if you look close it has some faint wine blotches on a few areas, it gets a new leaf about once every week.
The edge might be blunt because it's young or because that's only its second leaf.

I forgot about wine blotches. you can see a blotch on one of my leaves too. However, the last few leaves have not had any blotches on them that i can recall.

Here is mine under 1 year. It just sprouted a new pup, no fruit yet. Possible next year for fruit.

I will get you an updated pic shortly. I had mine for about 11 months till it bloomed but it was given to me with a nice size corm on it already.

These pictures are last year in December when it bloomed. I didnt take any pictures of the 2nd bloom. It bloomed in April but the bud chocked out and the bananas never developed. The mat is very big now but I am going to remove it because it chocked and ruined a harvest on me.

Agree, I get 1 new leaf each week but its a dwarf so they seem kind of slow compared to other tall variety's.

Thanks for those pics, they confirm this was the one I use to have. I lost it during winter, it was mislabeled so I didn't know which one it was.

o yes, they all die back in when it freeze outside. I have tried tarps and drop lights, bubble wrap. I just let them go now and cut em back in spring.

Dwarf yes, Def I have never seen it get much taller than 5 - 6' foot tall. Dwarf Namwah actually gets taller than Raja Puri. I do like that it is such a Dwarf and the fruit also pretty good. If you want any pups to try out let me know while they are still around.

I think I am going to have to wait and see if mine truly is a Raja Puri. I have had it since summer and it is very small. I got is small and it is only now starting to take off. I moved it inside after it got spots all over from the cold.
