I just purchased some Banana tree's from Home Depot yesterday. The tag said only "Musa". Can anyone confirm that this is a basjoo? (Left side)

Googling "banana tree Home Depot", I see people purchasing "Dwarf Cavendish" but from looking at images online of the Dwarf Cavendish, it looks different.

I purchased this from a Home Depot in the Seattle, WA area, so maybe they are selling the Basjoo because it would have a better chance with our winters?

I have only had experience with basjoo's and am hoping that's what these are as it needs to be somewhat hardy in my location.

The one of the left is the one I purchased from Home Depot yesterday and the one on the right is a basjoo that I planted last summer and has just recently came back after winter.

Thanks!
