This would assist all members in identifying their bananas.

I will volunteer to assemble the pics, so send them to me or attach them to this thread. Once we get it together, I will send it to Jarred to post in the Wiki.

Be sure that what you submit is labeled correctly. I would like to categorize them with a sort feature to ease the identification process. I welcome any input in this regard. i.e. Leaf-bases, lobed or attached, etc.....midrib color....
By using these sorting features, it should greatly reduce the time spent looking for your banana and identifying it.
I think that's a great ideal too. I have not used the Wiki feature that much before. However, that would make it more user friendly.
