Show us pictures of the fruit. Not much chance of identifying it without that.

Makes it easier for others to view them if you paste the photos into your message.
Like so:

Anyway, looks like Orinoco.

I'm trying to learn how to identify banana plants. In this case, do you believe it is Orinoco based on the shape and spacing of the fruit?

Yes, the widely splayed fingers, as well as the shape and color of the male bud, and the overall appearance of the plant. Also, it is quite common in the US.
