James' extra large banana
James recently posted these two pictures he received from a friend. Anyone know what variety of banana it might be?

Re: James' extra large banana
Could be ' African Rhino Horn', but there are many other plantains that can get that large too. For ID beyond plantain, we'd have to see the whole plant, but they are definitely a plantain of some kind.
