Re: newbie ??...how to tell which banana grows in my garden...
The unnamed great big purple one, which I'll bet you a Maqueno is called Morado or Rosado locally, is 'Lacatan' aka 'Cuban/Jamaican Red' - the flesh is sort of pinkish, too, isn't it?
Dominicos are plantains, usually 'Giant Plantain' but sometimes 'French Horn'
Parras or Paras are usually 'Orinoco' or 'Dwarf Orinoco'
Comerciales are nearly always 'Cavendish' or 'Gran Nain', and occasionally they're ripe 'Silk Plantain'.
