Re: any idea what type

Anyway, looks like Orinoco.

Re: any idea what type
 

I'm trying to learn how to identify banana plants. In this case, do you believe it is Orinoco based on the shape and spacing of the fruit?

Re: any idea what type
 

Yes, the widely splayed fingers, as well as the shape and color of the male bud, and the overall appearance of the plant. Also, it is quite common in the US.
