Definitely not Orinocco. Looks more like Misi Luki, Belle or a Namwah. Tasting will confirm.

The fellows in Mooooodesto sometimes trim the puttom hands off, and leave 3-4, which supposedly accelerates ripening. Leave them on till you the first night you expect a frost, and then cut them off and bring them in side. Alternatively bag them on the tree and put a lightbulb or something inside to keep the bananas from freezing, and leave them on as long as possible.
