Dwarf Banana Flowering
 

Can anyone identify this one for me? I'm not sure what it was when I planted it -- possibly Double Majoi, but I can't be sure.

It's a pretty short banana at about four feet tall, and it has taken a long time to flower. I let the chickens snack on all the pups recently because I was going to dig it up and get rid of it since it wasn't flowering. I figured it was another Cavendish that wasn't going to do well here.

The fruit is a little bit bigger than what some of my other banana plants are putting out. They are bigger than my Dwarf Cavendish, Raja Puri, and Pisang Ceylon. I may actually keep this one now if the bananas taste good.

Any ideas? Thanks for looking.

If it's bigger than DC...maybe Gran Nain?

It looks to be a 'Dwarf Cavendish' or 'Double Cavendish' ("Mahoi"), but they are almost the same plant, the latter just sometimes has branching bunches.

Hi Phil, thanks. That's okay. Most of my albums are of plants and/or animals and are public. I have a few private ones, and those are not accessible by the public.
