Default id help unknown banana in canada

i wish i could tell you where i got this one but it came from either a grocery store or convenience store whom stocks plants as well... possibly a local nursery
i forget.. sorry

anyhow it flowered soon after moving it to my friends backyard earlier this summer
looking at my post of the flag leaf..it was around july 9th 2019




then i posted these pics of the flower on july 26






i was over there yesterday and took these pics






this pup was tiny (4 inches?) when it was brought to my friends place
it has grown quite a bit

and since i do not have pics of the plant when it was younger here is a pic of the pup


i cut the male flower off yesterday and gave it a foliar feed today




there are 4 hands
hand 1 has 14 fingers
hand 2 has 10 fingers
hand 3 has 9 fingers
hand 4 has 8 fingers

they are an average of 3 inches length
around 3/4 to 15/16 of an inch on the widest side and around 3/4 of an inch on the narrower side (as of august 11)

pstem height might not be an accurate indicator in this case as the plant has not seen ideal conditions and so it is only around 3 feet give or take a bit

i will post some pics of the ripe fruit (hopefully) when that happens

thanks for any input and guesses
