What exactly is this new cultivar? It looks similar to regular version, but more slender like a monti?

That's about right , seems to have the growth habit of Monty and colour a little like Red Stripe , the stem colour is as you see it with the white waxy bloom. I had a seedling last year that was a little like Hiniba so I may grow a load of seeds to see if I can get one that looks like Hiniba. It's a clone from Koba Koba UK , the guy who owns Koba Koba is the holder of the UK National Collection of Bananas and sometimes selects a TC clone that is someting special and makes a new line of plants from it.I know nothing more about this plant , it's had a seasons growth here in our cool zone 8 climate and had made it to about 7 to 8 feet.
