Unknown banana in Hawaii
Posting these pics of my friend's banana. He got it from a friend a few years ago and this is the first fruit he's gotten. He doesn't fertilize, and it only has 1 pup. Pseudostem about 12' tall. He said the flesh was orange.
My guess is some type of Iholena. largest fruits are about 6-7" with the fruit furthest down about 1/2 that size. These were the best shots I could get on a cloudy day in the rainforest. Any thoughts? |

White Iholena. It's got the exact same conformation as my Leles, but none of the pigment, and the pink flesh in the fruits seals it.

Re: Unknown banana in Hawaii
I was thinking Iholena, too, based on the look of the bunch.
