Not being pedantic. Just confused. I've seen people say desert bananas...Is it a misspelling of dessert or are these heat and drought tolerant bananas? I haven't been sure at all.

I thought Cavendish was a type of dessert (sweet) banana and Orinoco was also a dessert (sweet, though leaning toward a plantain type) banana, but that they were both separate types with different growth habits, sub-varieties, and such.
