Default Re: Banana Identification

I don't grow ornament bananas, so I can answer those questions. Ripen the fruit and taste it. ... Ornamental bananas are considered 'ornamental' because the fruit is seeded and as such not marketable as fruiting plants. Many of these are eatable if you have a Torrance for spiting out the seeds; like eating watermelon. The seeds are big and hard as a rock.

The Cavendish and other eatable bananas (grocery store bananas) are sterile and do not have seeds.
