Default Re: Chiquita

It is my understanding, based on how the language is used in various publications I've read, that all commercial bananas that are Grand Nains (also spelled Grand Naine and Gran Nain) are not necessarilyor might not always be Grand Nains but could also be Williams, Robusta or...I forget off hand.

Any truth to that? I've always wondered. I know bananas are similar but there really can't be another banana plant out there that has almost the exact same fruit as a Grand Nain, right? Any of those other commercial bananas that are mentioned in various places similar fruit wise (size, shape, etc) to the Grand Nain?
