I see something similar here, in Guadeloupe island. If you have any information, please let a comment

Happy to put a name on this banana :)
It is fairly distinctive from the others that grow here. Big, red stems, petioles and even the base of the leaves.
Keep us up to date with this strain. I am curious to see how it can handle frost, freeze.
What is your minimal temps in winter ?
