Here's some random bananas pics in Sayulita, Nayarit, MX, just north of Puerto Vallarta. Lot's of Gringos, and red forest crabs that the Mexicans also call gringos, LOL. Some sea turtles too.

Another next door planting of a reddish banana that was really common in the area, but didn't seem to be in fruit very often.

Here's a 2.5 foot tall banana in bloom. Maybe it just got neglected? Or a dwarf?

At kiki's above, are those Jackfruit hanging? Neat pics, looks like a heck of a place to visit.

Are you talking about the dark green huge spiny looking ones? I thought that they were just large breadfruit, but you maybe right. In the fields behind these stands are acres of breadfruit, and Mangos, with native voluntier Sabal palms popping up every where(they use them for the palapa roofs at the nearby restaurants).

Hey cool pics.

I've spent plenty of time in Sayulita over the years. Very nice little town. It has gotten alot more popular with the tourist crowd lately though.

Nice pictures, thanks for sharing!

We got married in Costa Careyes which is in Jalisco about 60 miles south of Puerto Vallarta. I remember driving by huge plantations of bananas and coconuts! I think I might have even snapped a photo or two! I'll have to check the old film photo box and see.
