Re: Uknown finally fruited
Thanks Mike.

Re: Uknown finally fruited
RP was going to be my guess, but the bananas don't quite look like mine. I posted a picture of my flower on the wiki page.

Re: Uknown finally fruited
A Dwarf Cavendish form. There are few different ones in the US that vary in height and bunch size, but they are all rather similar. They normally fruit from 3-6ft.
