That's cool info. I was given a Tall and dwarf Orinoco, how do you know which variety and how many varieties of Orinoco are there? The Tall Orinoco I have is the fastest growing plant I've ever had. 3 feet in about a month in a 5 gallon pot!

I also have some other varieties I'd like to learn more history about if you know a good source for info. I tried Google but only came up with bit of info.

I know you're probably not a banana history major lol, but I wanted to ask anyways.

Thanks!
