I planted several banana pups from different places and one is variegated, so maybe its a Gros Michel? I'm on St. Croix, so who knows 😂 Great video

Paul... I have 100 namwa bananas. Forget the banana... look at the lower trunk for a red flush. Manzano don't have the red flush but all namwas do.

Variegated bananas are white striped and will not be confused. Many banana leaves have the red spots or stripes and is normal. Crazy how hard it is to really ID these fruit. How the fingers attach is also an identifier. I’ve seen the difference, but have no help for ya as what matches to what. 😂 Have a blessed day!

@@Maria-tq8ck about 10 to 11 months if they are placed in a place where the soil is good and they are getting sufficient water. I have always used my lawn clippings to help to enrich the soil.

Hope you didn't throw away the banana flower. There are some great recipes for the flower. Banana blossom stew, pork & Banana blossom in coconut milk, banana blossom curry.

My tall Namwah is very prolific here in Bradenton!! My dwarf namwah never even produced in 3 yrs although it was in a more dry part of the yard.

At least they taste great, so you didn't totally waste your money. Can't you just leave the rack on the tree and just pull the ripe ones off as they get fully ripe?

Yes you can do that but the full rack will become ripe within a few days

10:15 that red in the leaf is normal for bananas, it’s only red in the leaf like that when they are young. It’s not variegation I don’t think. The cavendish does it as well

You should have done the last Netflix episode of the Mystery Banana with the Fruitful 5. Done with this Season 1, Season 2 will be Tall or Dwarf Namwah. Enjoy that rack!

One sure way to identify Dwarf Namwah is they have a pinkish hue when their younger on the underside of the leaves right along the leaf stem on both sides. They also sometimes show a little pink when young on the pups pstem.

It's not variegation , those brown spots usually indicate that the banana tree is getting a lot of water or nutrients
