I just wanted to show off a little. I have a half dozen or so clusters of bananas growing in my yard. I had more, but Hurricane Emily broke 4 or 5 stalks with bananas and the fruits weren't mature enough to ripen. I've picked three stalks of ripe bananas this summer, they were "all purpose" orinoco bananas. I prefer the cavendish, which is strickly eating banana and much sweeter.
Here is a cluster of Orinoco bananas. They have a taste similar to apples.
