Thanks to the good directions from Tropicallvr, I found and photographed the black stemmed bananas in Golden Gate Park.

I didn't see alot of stem that wasn't black,

even on the shady side, but under the leaf stems was nice and bright.

It clearly gets black with exposure to the elements and light.
I didn't see any fruit or seeds, but I will check back occasionly...
