Shannon, wow, those are very impressive fruits!!! With our long, hot summers, we have a decent chance for our bananas to flower and fruit. Like Pete thinks, I believe they are Orinocos. Could you remind me how they are overwintered? Are they dug up or left in the ground with mulch? Do your neighbors get fruit every year? Totally awesome!
