Just a quick note on the photos:

You will see lots of interesting names for fruits and things out there, the label "Indigenous Banana" is in no way correct or informative given the circumstances it was found in. These fruits are not indigenous to Hawai'i, and even if they were there are much better names to give them, even if they were found in their country of origin. This is not a criticism of the grower/seller, it really doesn't even matter to those not interested in them to the level we are, but since we are mostly all banana nerds here, I just wanted to make that clear to the people reading these posts and looking at the photos.
