Do they look fused together throughout the whole fruiting process? never saw a bunch at a young/juvenile stage before..

Interesting. I purchased this one, like many from my collection, from Going Bananas in Homestead, FL. I guess people make mistakes sometimes but strange to think they mislabeled these. This is my first bunch from this plant, so I assumed that they fused later in the ripening process as they grew. The plant does meet the height and leaf description of Praying Hands. If experienced growers say they are directly fused from the initial bloom then perhaps I need to contact Going Bananas...Thank you for the input.

Cosmo,



You welcome!....As Master Beam (beam2050) clarified, Musa Praying Hands will stay fused thru the whole fruiting process!....Even the male flowers are fused together!...



I'm posting a couple of Musa Praying Hands pictures at the early stage of flowering/blooming!....You can see on the last picture that it started to open male flowers and they are fused together!.....



















Hopefully it helps!.....

Pretty disappointed as this appears not to be Praying Hands. Especially since it was purchased from a reputable place. Any ideas on the ID? Top psuedostem is roughly 12 ft...

don't look at me I don't know nothin except to tell you to put your pics under the [plant identification]. I have a sneaking hunch that some of the people who can i'd your plant just look at those threads avoiding some of the fufra that happens here, probably because they don't have time.

bad thing about the praying hands is they don't pup much and it is sad too as it does so well in my zone compared to most bananas.

to me it looks kinda like a plantain. but I know absolutely nothing about banana id

Dwarf Brazilian planted in July 2019. The plant was choked and could not push the flower so I had to do a bit of surgery. This is my first Dwarf Brazilian. I will probably prune off everything except for two hands. Very funny to have such a short plant with a flower after three seasons of giant namwas. Haha.

Its a long shot but I think it should be able to ripen one or two hands max. Its got one good leaf, green pstem, great location, and seven months of good weather ahead of it. Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion!!
