Matt, as you know there are at least two cultivars sold as apple banana. The "real deal" originated in Africa and then (commercially) was planted in Brazil, and afterwards in Hawaii. It has much notoriety in Hawaii but does not produce in quantity and quality outdoors 24/7 in the continental U.S., at least in comparison to Namwah. Further, sellers in CA including Amazon and Home Depot offer Namwah labeled as "Apple". Currently there are folks on local Facebook thread discussing their "Apple" bananas which clearly are Namwah. LOL.
