I have lots of these bananas growing. They are very vigorous and do well in areas others types don't grow well in. Here in Belize we call them Cuban Banana. They are similar to Cavendish but not as sweet. Can anyone tell me what they are?

Looks like it could be one of the FHIA varieties, perhaps FHIA-02, but hard to say for sure. Do you have any photos of the fruit with the male bud intact/left on the plant?

Thanks so much for your response. I will get a picture of the flower bud and post soon!
