Got these from a banana forest in Howey In the Hills, Florida. Farmer had them on the property for over 40 years and sells the fruits at farmers markets. Plants are not maintained and average around 11 feet or so. Flowers seemed to be a dirty gray look. I think I know what they are but want to confirm my thoughts.

From those few photos I would say Silk/Manzano, but have an updated bunch shot?

The plants haven't advanced much but Monsano is what they are supposed to be. With so many of my plants being misnamed, I wanted to be sure. The parents have been producing at one location on a lake for over 40 years.

Removed some of the lower hands since I have little hope for the upcoming winter.
