Def not in the Cavendish family. Gabe will probably have some idea for you.

Orinoco ?

Re: Anyone think they can I.D. this Banana?
 

It definitely has traits which narrow it down some, but there is still a lot of cultivars it could be. You need to have it flower in order for a proper ID.

Re: Anyone think they can I.D. this Banana?
 

How about narrowing it down to 3 possibles,since I have NO idea(-;

Re: Anyone think they can I.D. this Banana?
 

If we narrow it down to three, that doesn't mean it will necessarily be any of those 3, and at this point they would be almost random guesses. If it means anything to you, it looks like is likely an ABB type, but that still leaves a lot of possibilities.
