Hello and Welcome!

Your banana plant looks like Musa 'Orinoco', a very common, but well liked variety that can be used fresh or for cooking.

See this link for more info: Musa Orinoco - Bananas Wiki (http://www.bananas.org/wiki/Musa_Orinoco)

Hi Sterling, welcome!
Glad to see another nearby Banana grower. I'm a little surprised there are not more folks from our area on Bananas.org, considering all who grow bananas in our neck of the woods.

Glad you are getting fruit!
