Plant ID (No picture)
[UPDATED: I have since added a picture] I picked up a cute little banana at some random backwoods nursery. Here's the description:
Pseudostem to 6' Pseudostem is very thin at around 1" diameter. Reminds me of M cheesmani. Pups appear within 6" of existing pseudostems Leaves are red underneath with red blotches on the top of the green leaves. Looks like it pups readily Apparently cold hardy (8A) since she's growing these outside at her house.  At first glance, they look like your run-of-the-mill red cold hardy banana, but the 1" diameter pseudostem is interesting. These came from the nursery owner's (lady) home. The 'son' was a miserable fella that obviously hated what he did. He says that they grow to 6' each season. For some reason, he left the dead pseudostems attached to the corm below (I have since removed them). The dead ones show the same tiny dimensions as these bananas.

Re: Plant ID (No picture)
It looks like it could be Musa 'Bordelon', a nice ornamental hybrid. I have a seen a few other types of these plants. If you look up Bordelon in the gallery or wiki here, you can probably find some mature ones and see if they match up the ones you saw at the nursery.
