I would agree that we should have very similar weather patterns, but I would be very surprised if we have the same soil.

If I assume that the two varieties currently in question in my yard are FHIA hybrids (let's hope that's a safe assumption) and consulting the FHIA identification guide I believe I can rule out:

1. All plantains are out.
2. FHIA 17, 23, and 25 since the two varieties I have both have hanging rather than perpendicular bunches.
3. FHIA 2 can be ruled out since both of my varieties have clean rachis
4. FHIA 18 can be ruled out because I don't recall a thin purple line on the petiole.


So I think out of the FHIA possibilities that I could likely obtain in the hobby trade I'm left with FHIA-1 and SH-3640.
