Texas Banana ID needed
I have a friend in Houston TX that who's neighbor is growing bananas that they never bother to harvest so she decided to try some that are hanging on her side of the fence and would like to know what kind they are. I have several photos and some info to share about this banana.
The plants are about 12' tall. Fruit is 8" long, 7" in diameter, firm in texture, a slightly citrus over tone, not overly sweet, smooth texture. They taste like bananas but don't smell like banana.      A double      |

Yes, Orinoco or some other closely related Bluggoe subgroup variety.

Re: Texas Banana ID needed
yep, they look a lot like the Orinocos we have here too.
Been frying up a lot lately, got 8 bunches hanging with some starting to turn yellow. They make GREAT tostones, though I do like to let them ripen a tad more to get better caramelization.
