I am afraid that I won't be of much help to you this time. There are several
hundred different varieties and hybrid types of bananas. Some are seed
grown, which are strictly ornamental while others are grown from corms
which develop from the parent plant. To actually identify the variety usually
involves keying the different properties of the plant, including the flowers
and fruit. If you visit Stokes
Tropicals web site,
you will find an extensive listing of different varieties which are available.
Perhaps they will be able to give you a little better idea of which type
of banana plant you have. The people at Stokes are certainly more knowlegeble
about bananas than I am. Sorry!
