Wait until it fruits and then you'll have a better chance for a positive ID.

There's no way you could tell what type of banana this is at this size. Like Momoese says, wait until it blooms. Or post a picture of your neighbor's fruit.

yes orinoco..i m in central west fl.have several mats of them..great for cooking green or give more time to ripen and eat them right out of skin..a little yellow ok really really really yellow best..enjoy, real easy type to grow..very cold tollerant, my sword pups go from 1 foot to between 7 -9 feet in a season with fruit..have had 1 go 10 ft at top of pstem..4-6 month for fruit to ripen,depending on how ripe you like them

It's a cooking banana that can be eaten fresh when really ripe.
