Mystery banana

My neighbour hacked down and dug up her banana plants in September 2011. I found a pile of banana debris on the curb. I picked up 3-foot sucker, which I managed to kill. I picked up a severely chopped corm, which I wrapped in a plastic bag and threw in the crawl space under my house. I've been bored during Christmas break, so I dug out the whacked-up corm, removed the old roots and slimy spots, and potted it up. Maybe it will grow. I don't even know what kind of banana it is. All I know is the trunk is relatively thick, and that the plant grows slightly taller than my neighbour's one-story house.
