Thanks Gabe. It it also true that Silk cultivars have some burgundy splotching on leaves of small pups but Pisang Awak don't?

To be honest, I cannot be positive that my neighbor's banana mat is either Silk or Pisang Awak -- they seemed most likely based on what might be available in California, the general look, and the very thin skinned, 5-6" long, apple-tasting fruit. Of the cultivars you'd be likely to encounter in California, which would have fruit that meet that description? It is clearly not something in the Cavendish, Bluggoe, Saba, or Red subgroups; and from the few cultivars I've seen, probably not Pome, Nendra Padaththi, or Sucrier.

Have a great Thanksgiving. Banana stuffing anyone?
