Re: Ladyfinger
Does not look like Manzano to me. Looks fine to be a Pome-type Australian ‘Ladyfinger’, but you may notice they are different from commercial ones because there are a number of different cultivars, and this is not the sort that would be grown commercially anyway.
Bananas mutate relatively easily, and if youre 100% sure its different from other tall type Ladyfingers that people would grow in gardens (not fruit you might find in a store), then you could consider it a distinct cultivar.
However, you must also be aware that environmental conditions can change the characters of the fruit significantly, and so just because a fruit is different when you experience it, that does not necessarily mean it is from a different plant altogether.
