This group of nanas - 4 large clumps growing in a very narrow strip of earth.

Are the target of a rescue mission - I would love to know what type they are. Each clump is fruiting! To my untrained eye they all look the same.

Here are a few of the flower

And some Leaf shots

More shots in my Gallery...

I am thinking that they may be ...‘Orinoco’- Probably the most common banana grown all along the Gulf Coast. Reliably produces medium-sized fruits (4”-6”) that can either be cooked when green or allowed to fully ripen and eaten out of hand. (copied from the wiki).

And that they are not ripe, and from the way the stalk is damaged on some of them they may not ripen.

Any other ideas?
