They are a Musa acuminata subsp., however there are many of them so its impossible to say which one without closely examining the plant. There are only a few subsp. available on the market, most notable are subsp. zebrina, subsp. sumatrana and subsp. microcarpa was just recently made available through Rare Palm Seeds.
