HI Danny,
If they are Orinoco they will produce a banana that will be tasty only if you let it get very ripe. I mean when it looks like you missed it and should have thrown it out yesterday it is at its peak and will be good. They take about four months to turn yellow. When they are at their best they will have black spots on them and not be appealing. Don't let that bother you. Peel it and you will find the flesh is not bruised or soft. I have at least six mats with hanging bunches right now. If you have the room they are worth growing. Depending on your climate you may be able to grow others that are better but for now let them ripen, eat what you have and be patient. Let them get ugly!
