I humbly ask all you folk how you know what you have?...Where do you go for info on that green leafy thing in your backyard? Did the nursery tell you?...or the friend who gave you the pup?

I'm in Bananaville, Mexico...and the names of the cultivars I'm getting are usually 'common names'...and in Spanish...(go figure...)

I now have but four varieties...so named: commercial; dominicos; paras; and a new one, un-named(great big purple fruit, very sweet and to eat out of hand)...it's pretty easy here to bring home something new

I don't think they are exotic, in fact, I think they are probably very well known.

How can I identify them?
