I just looked back at Gabe's comments and Namwah types have a pretty pointed tip on the bud. If this "Belle" is from the same source as the one I tried fruit from, it is definitely a Namwah type (Pisang Awak). Keep posting pictures of it.

I've got 5 bunches now but it's too dark to take photos

Wish I could post photos directly from my smartphone.

Think I'll cut one bunch next week if I have time like I hope. Been crazy busy lately.

I used to grow Belle. Found the taste was not to my liking. And it grows too tall. The SH 3640 went in that location. Good decision. Zagigehisown.
