Default Re: First Musa "CA Hardy"on eBay in 2009?

I don't think that the photos of the CA Hardy in the recent eBay auction look like the the Orinoco. The CA-H is fuller and rounder at both ends, while the Orinoco has tapered stem and tips. Plus the Orinoco has less fruits per bunch and fingers are spreading out, while the CA-H is pretty packed and more hands/fingers. I have not seen any Orinoco fruit bunch that is packed and as many hands as the CA-H.

Orinoco(from Agri-Starts site):


CA Hardy(from eBay):
