Default Basjoo confirm?

Dalmationsoap told me he believed my largest banana may not be a Basjoo, I was hoping to see what everyone thought:


This has white powder at the stem, red midrib and raised defined veins on a rounder leaf.

Also when I have a fresh leaf it has a small curl on the tip and if I pull the curl off early it feels like its attached almost with cotton (where i am guessing it got the name fiber?)

Also noticed the very outer rim of the leaf has a thin purple line coloration (don't know if that's normal, you can see it in the second photo)

I purchased it from texas traders and it arrived a 3 foot pstem chopped down with a root mass.

Heres the photo album of the basjoo growing up I currently have online:

August second


August 12th




Pup peeking out


End of september


And away for the winter with my Sikkemensis and Lasiocarpa



I can snap a photo of the pstem petiole later on also (this is just what I have for now to get it started)
