Bought both these on CL's a couple months back what do you guys think?

This first plant has a very thick petiole and waxy stems as well.

Just now working on the 3rd leafs. Many pups.

Ok some more info.

The guy I got plant number one from said it will reach 15' in ground.

He said he potted one up one year and left it in a factory and got fruit.

He said the fruit was the same taste as the store bought nanners?...


Pups come out green with a reb/pink outline and midrib, leaf itself is not blotched at all.

P-stem is very powdery white.

Ok. Plant number two I think are orinocos.

I bought the tall ones from a guy said he brought it back from Florida.

I also have two corms planted in them which resembles the others pups.

Both were brought back from Florida.

Well I might take some more pictures later.

Thanks for looking!

Your first plant somewhat resembles 'Ice Cream'/'Blue Java' in my opinion.

That's exactly what I was thinking from the pics/descriptions.

Left town for a week and came home to a nice surprise.

Here are some flowering pics of plant number 1, ice cream?

Hopefully the other tall one pops soon.

This thing was standing straight until a month back when I stole 3 pups all from the same side of corm. Now I will need to prop soon it looks like.

Congrat's on the Flower. Nice pics. I wouldn't touch that pup as long as there is a possibility of getting banana's :^)

Yeah
I do not plan on harvesting these as that would take me into December most likely.
(My season is over mid October)
I do have plans on moving the pup, would it effect the visuals of fruit hanging since that is all I'm after.

Thanks for the comments I will be posting more pics as time goes on.

More shots of each plant mainly #1 flowering maybe Ice Cream?
These are all from today.

Current finger length is around 4''

Pup and main stem of flowering plant.
Does chopping back affect overall flowering height?

This is another one it looked like it had started flowering last year before dormancy. This stem came up and is insanely fast growing.

and a closer shot of its p-stem..

Ok This is plant #2
I bought these from 2 guys 1 guys with the 3 main stems and another with 2 I chopped back early. I am pretty sure they are the same.

They both say they brought them back from Florida. One guy said it is the common Florida banana, but not the 'cold hardy'

I am almost positive this is tall Orinoco.
Just now starting to grow out of its funk.

Why do my pics always come out so small?
Is it from Flickr or my export settings? or what?

good pics. i think its orinoco. The fruits look wedged and angular like orinoco. If they fatten and remain that way its orinoco. The fruits have those deep red tips like mine..

Thanks for the comments!
Unfortunately these will need to be dug up soon, so I do not think I will be able to enjoy any of these.

I will still try one premature whenever I dig up.
Maybe cooking them would be ok?...

Congrats on the bananas! :) And def thanks for all the awesome banana plants you sent me! Very excited about that!
Bob should get in on this thread too cause his Ice Cream banana made bananas last summer.

I'd guess dwarf Orinoco. They look exactly like my dwarf Orinoco -- long closed petioles, same leaf spacing, color, etc. They also flowered at the right height for that variety, and have fruit that look like Orinoco fruit. Definitely not ice cream fruit: wrong shape, color, bunch structure, etc. The video was very helpful. Sorry you may not get to eat the fruit.

yep short fat wedged banana.. well at least you know what they are now... i would suggest not trying to ripen orinoco on the plant.. when they swell and fatten they can be cut. if you look at my gallery you will see how they will keep swelling until they split....this is what happened to some of mine. they seem to ripen fast after being cut, they don't have much of a greenlife for the most part. i saw your video. it looked like they could have been cut and hung??? so what did you decide to do with the Orinoco fruit??. i just saw this today.
