It seems whichever one I'm looking at is my favorite! I just love them all. I have a greenhouse full and I kind of hate to sell them.It's more like adoption... I guess I'm a banana hoarder!
I will have to say I'm really partial to Bordelons because they are so easy, pretty and pup so much. I also love my ice cream banana because I've had it for about 6 years now, we've done a lot of drinking together all summer, and it's thrown bananas to me for the last three years every year.
I'm starting to think as I look out the window and frost is forecast possibly for this weekend that maybe ladyfinger isn't my favorite, because I have one about 10 feet tall I'm looking at that needs to be dug! LOL...after I get it in, it may be my favorite...

So you're a hoarder?
I have two little SDCs and a Basjoo coming in.
Hope one day I can have a line of banana trees along my fence in my back yard.

Hiya Re: Your favorite banana Plant ?

I grow banana plants for ornamental beauty. I'd have to say my favorite one right now is my Siam Ruby from Bob.

I can see how you can get addicted to growing banana plants.
Many (i think) look/taste, grow/differently and I'm sure most of us are curious about each of them. I know some people on here have over 6 different kinds growing in their yards.

After I have some success with what I have, maybe I'll order another hardy banana plant next season. I wonder which other type is good in colder weather.

A banana plant always amazes me. They all produce beautiful leaves and different types of fruits.I like all of them. I am not growing all of them just because of limited space. I am trying to find out what best tastes banana fruit? So I am concentrated to grow most rated edible ones.So far the best-tasted banana fruit for me is Chundillakkannan. (Koombillakkannan, chundillan). And Njalipoovan takes 2nd. I heard good things about lactan, icecream, namwah, Rajapuri and yangambi. But never had a chance to taste them yet. They are all in my wanted to grow list.
