Default Landscape Nanner

I have a nanner rescued from my FIL's patch here in central Texas. It was there when he moved in and he's not interested in maintaining them so I grabbed one. It's your generic green nanner - it gets a little taller than me before frost kills it back to the corm, so I've never seen it fruit. Non-descript green leaves with very slight red edges and a very faint hint of red on the midrib - mostly green tho. No variegation whatsoever from sprout to this size. I assume this is a Home-Depot/Walmart type nanner - but I'm not aware of the popular types of landscape nanners sold in this area - if there's such a thing of a standard landscape nanner. The only one's I've seen so far at area stores are the red variegated types. When it fruits, that'll be telling I hope - til then I'm left guessing. Any ideas? I'll post images when it flowers...
