Not sure. I am actually hoping for a Namwah instead of the "Ice cream" I bought. When the bloom is full, I will post it here

Thank you! I have it in full sun, and I water every other day. I am in zone 8b-9a. I was feeding every 3 weeks with a fruiting fertilizer, then when the bloom came, I switched to a powder mixed in water like miracle grow for blooming plants. It is high potassium. It has stayed real healthy since I bought it last year. I keep it sprayed with neem oil for bugs, and copper spray if needed for fungus. This is also my first banana.

Plants looks awesome - are they in an in-ground "pot" or is that just a grass barrier? What are the (planting area) dimensions?

Planted in the ground. The "box" was to keep grass out, and hold mulch. There is also fencing for winter. I am going to have to expand it and cut out 2 pups of pups this fall. I think the dimensions are around 3' by 4'
