I'm hoping Gabe or another expert at identification can help to confirm the identity of this Stokes Tropicals banana. It was purchased as Brazilian, but some members here thought it might be Orinoco. I've been searching for pictures of both fruit, but I can't tell one way or another. I guess I don't really know what to look for that distinguishes one species from another when it comes to bananas. The flower formed at the end of November and had to deal with winter here.

Thanks!
