Chinkeys! Mystery solved!
According to local Lore, the local Pass-along Banana was brought by a seaman to his wife in the late 19th, early 20th century. Until recently(thanks to Global Warning), they never even reached blooming stage. The "buzz" wasthat these were 'Gros Michel' plants. Well, the stand at my folk's house fruited this Fall. They're the Common stubby "Burro" Bananas....
Cheers,
Pat
