So I was eating a Dole organic banana from farm 404 today and was wondering what type of cavendish it could be. It tasted a little better than usual, 7-8 inches long and a thicker skin than I am used to.

Does anyone out there know much about cavendish that may be able to help? If you need a picture I will take one later, I ate the one I had with me.

I was thinking they could be that type, but didn't really know since I know nothing about cavendish. They are just bigger than the ones they usually stock. I can't wait till my plants finally fruit. Fresh bananas sound so good.

Yes, they are likely 'Grand Nain'. You cannot really tell from the fruit, you need to look at the whole plants, but 'Grand Nain' is most common.
