Well I just harvested the fruit form this, and I still have no idea what it is. The oddly kinked rachis is messy below the fruit. That tells me it is not Williams or GM. The plant looks a bit different than pictures of DCs do. I also have pics of the even sadder looking bunch right next to the one I harvested today. The ripe fruit pics are from smaller fruit picked a bit early. They have a different taste than store bought cavendish, and a firmer texture. Better tasting than home grown Williams. This fruited at about 6' (all mine tend to fruit shorter than others report). Any more thoughts as to what this is? Grand Nain, Valery? I'm sure now it is not a GM because it's quite different than the one I harvested a couple months ago and the fruit is inferior. The other thing throwing me on the fruit taste is there is a bit of tanginess which seems odd for a cavendish.













this is the sad little bunch from the same mat.
