Re: Blue Java? Need help to Identify this one
Definitely not Blue Java, but also not Namwah which it is typically mixed up with. Looks more like Dwarf Brazilian, but with some odd traits, could just be a tissue culture off-type, or the result of...

Re: Looking for help on id of this one.
It's either Dwarf Brazilian or Raja Puri, they are almost the same and often very difficult to tell apart unless growing side by side. If I had to choose though Id lean towards Dwarf Brazilian as...

Re: Quite possibly the biggest banana cultivar
Almost every sentence in that article is false, down to PNG being a “small country”. None of the photos are of M. ingens, and none of the info about it is correct. Sorry, but this article is...

Re: Looking for help on id of this one.
I have some good ideas but to be sure, post another photo in a few weeks once it develops a bit more as it's still a bit young to give a solid ID. Leave on the male bud the make it easier for us to...

Re: Need ID help
It's 'Dwarf Cavendish'. There are lots of variants which are slightly different from one another, so you may notice some inconsistencies between sources of plants, but they are all pretty similar.

Re: Please help ID this fruiting banana
It's fine to self/inbreed them, there is no real problem with it for propagation. On some species there is actually a small window of time where you can use the first male flowers to pollinate the...

Re: Please help ID this fruiting banana
Well, kinda neither, but more importantly, you won't be getting fruits at all.
Musa basjoo is a wild species, it requires pollination to make seeded fruits. However, since you presumably only have...

Re: Panama Disease on Namwa?
Namwah is susceptible to Panama Wilt, but it is highly unlikely in your location, and the symptoms do not match. Your plant just appears to be dropping older leaves which is exceedingly normal....

Re: Strange spacing on new fruit
I don't see anything strange in the photo. It looks completely normal for the female phase of 'Dwarf Brazilian'. Do you have photos of the other plant you assume to be 'Dwarf Brazilian'?

Re: Help me ID this one!
It's 'Brazilian', aka 'Pome' or 'Prata'. In Hawaii they are called 'Apple', but "Apple" elsewhere typically refers to 'Silk'/'Manzano', which is not this plant.

Unusually narrow leaves isn't a typical trait on edible cultivars, but can be a symptom of off-type mutation.
