Banana or Plantain
Can anybody ID?
Planted back in early Feb/2009 about 3ft tall. Present height about 12ft tall. I was told by the lady that gave me the pup, it was Plantain..? Do i need to wait for the fruit to find out? Thanks. PS EDIT:Sorry for double posting! [IMG]  [/IMG]Last edited by SoBe Musa : 10-13-2009 at 11:36 AM. |

Re: Banana or Plantain
Hmmm...that's a very odd-looking elongated inflorescence. Interesting...

Re: Banana or Plantain
The name Musa paradisiaca is invalid, but yes...it is looking like a plantain banana, but keep posting more photos as it develops. A plantain is a specific type of banana which belongs to the Plantain Subgroup with an AAB genome. Generally they are used as cooking bananas, but not all cooking bananas are plantains. Not all AAB bananas are plantains either.

Re: Banana or Plantain
It looks like a False Horn (a type of plantain) which for whatever reason did not develop properly. You can tell it is a French Horn because of the small amount of hands and present, but degenerated male axis. Perhaps the next bunch will be better.

Re: Banana or Plantain
Very beautyfull banana you got there Emily!!! Congratulations!
 I hope the fruits mature well for you and the pup gives you a second bunch relatively soon! Btw,what is the name of the tree touching the inflorescence? I was seeing it all the time while i was in South Florida for vacations this Easter and liked it but didnt get to find any in fruit unfortunately...
